  • maybe teething?
  • I know when he's teethubg cause he crys and seems like he's really going through pain and he's been doing thus for a while now
  • Is he starting to teethe? That would cause fussiness. My son has no tears, he just screams! And sometimes babies get so used to waking up at certain times that they just automatically do it even if they aren't hungry. Try to comfort him and put him back to sleep before jumping right to a feeding. My son gets up 3-4 times a night but only eats once!
  • Unfortunately, cereal doesn't help to fill babies up, so putting it in his bottle isn't going to work. Some babies don't sleep thru the night for at least a year, some longer. He may just need a paci and some love and comfort. Both of my kids were sleeping 6-8 hours by that age, but every baby is different. Sorry you're so tired, it sucks, but welcome to motherhood!
  • Try to let him nap less during the day... keep him away a fews hrs before bedtime if bedtime is at 8 make his last nap be over at 5 or earlier depending how long he stays awake (my 2month old only can stay away a couple hrs in between naps shes a sleepy head) I give my lo a bottle at 7 bath @730 and lay her in crib @8 she puts herself to sleep and doesnt wake up till 6to8 hours later.... I dnt do ferber or attatchment method cus neither are nessesary my lo never cries barely fusses and puts herself to bed... And if she does wake up and I dnt think shes hungry yet I put her paci in her mouth n usually she goes back to sleep if not I feed her... Good luck!
