New to BabyandBump and have a few questions

ozzymac · Mar 19th, 2010, 09:45 AM

Hi, I'm new to this website and have a few questions

My LO is 5 months old and I have just started weaning her. She has always been a really good sleeper and has slept from 7pm till 7am from about 2 months old. However, she has now started waking up in the night for food. I have started feeding her at 10pm (without waking her up) and this worked for a week but she is now still waking about 4am. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have only just started weaning her so I'm hoping that when she starts having dinner she'll sleep through again.

Also, she is currently having 6 bottles a day (7oz each) and I wondered how much everyone else's LOs have?

Thanks

Hey there, welcome to baby and bump!!!

My LO at that age went through the growth spurt/sleep regression phase, and had done since 3 and a half months, but she is now back to sleeping through (touch wood). I think its a phase that all babies go through, and it is well documented. Its very hard though as our bodies had got used to sleeping through!
She had 4 bottles a day of 8 and a half ounces at that age, has now started cutting down as on three meals a day.

Welcome to babyandbump hun

Like Scally said, Joe went through this at about 5 months too, waking in the night and wanting his dummy (we didn't feed him at night) and it passed after about 2 weeks. One of my friends who has a little boy of 5 months is going through it now too.

Joe had 5 bottles a day of 8oz each at 5 months.

Hope that helps xx

I'm not sure as my LO is only 2 months old, but just wanted to welcome your B&B!
