@aydonsmommy How old is your baby? Zephyr goes to be usually around 9 and wakes up every two hours after. He eats 4 oz at a time, but if I make him more than 4 oz he wont eat it all.
@betty I'm so jealous! Like I said above he still wakes up like crazy, but wont eat more than 4oz at a time. How much does your baby eat at a time?
My son is 8 weeks and wakes up 2-3x a night. It really depends on what time he goes to bed. But the bottle right before bed he gets 4oz formula with 1 scoop of cereal. I started the cereal because he was eating every hour at night and I had to go back to work
My daughter is 5 weeks old now and wakes up 2-3 times every night. She can finish 4 oz of formula and still would like to be breast feed. I can't wait till she atleast sleep longer. She's always on time asking for a feed every 3 hours.
I would suggest using the Enfamil AR formula, its formulated with rice and keeps baby feeling fuller longer. My daughter is 6 weeks today and she sleeps about 4 hours at a time using this formula. I only use it at night and she always drinks 4 ounces
My sons 9 weeks old and depending wgen i put him to bed he usually sleeps 5-6hrs and wakes up 1 time during the night, but i breastfeed him at night and he sleeps in bed with me
@momi @babynum2andproud@akmommy Will the rice cereal upset his stomach? Or make him constipated? I had to switch him to Enfamil Gentlease because Enfamil lipil was constipating him.
@Aydonsmommy Was your son born July 26? If so, our babies have the same birthday and I also have a 3 year old who will be 4 next month named Aiden.
I switched to that brand too because of the constipation and I've had no issue with the AR formula. It let's her sleep 4 hours at a time and since I work it makes nights SO much better. Maybe just buy a can of the concentrate and try it at night just a couple of nights and see if it affects him. That way you don't buy a container of it and it ends up not working. I kind of prefer it concentrate cause its not quite as thick as how the powder mixes. My daughter gets frustrated with the powdered kind since it's harder to get through the nipple. Not sure why but the concentrate doesn't seem as thick
Iv been very lucky my little one is now 3 months but he has slept through from 3weeks old he goes down 8-8.30and wakes 7-7.30! I started dream feeding which has worked wonders for us!
Sounds right he was waking 2,3 times a few weeks ago. Jadens 11weeks now and he gets up only once usually before 5am drinks a few oz and slumbers back until 7or so
Dream feedin is where u give them their last bottle while there sleeping so i put rhys down at 8 then at 10/10.30 i give him 4oz while hes sleepin keeps him full and means he sleeps right through
