Long post!! my friends asked me to post on the mum pages im on as she doesnt know what else to do...I have a 4.5week old baby who does not settle despite being fed,changed,cuddled etc,He's taking 4oz formula every 3hr (breastfed 1st 2weeks)but he doesn't sleep much and the 3hrs between feeds he might only sleep for 1.5 to 2hr max the rest he just cries but it's not a pain cry it's a frustrated cry like over tired when their trying to fight you.spoke with health visit as I thought maybe his milk isn't thick enough so maybe try hungrier milk but they said no 4oz every 3 he was ample enough but it's like 4 isn't filling him but give him 5 and he's sick,,I'm not a 1st time mum and I know each child is different but I really don't know what's wrong or what to do,he just seems frustrated all the time. Any suggestions???
Thank you ladies any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😃
@graciesmummy definitely try hungry baby milk, my little boy was the same at that age and I changed to hungry baby milk and there was a huge improvement!xx
Neurological problems,or if that after food Not digested protein constantly on a pain , feeling sorry for baby,Baby need to be checked with the doctor
@graciesmummy prob the same reason my doctor and health visitor didnt when i asked them about 10 times. Im not saying it is 100% that but its worth exploring differmt options x
She says how come health visitor or breastfeeding coordinator not mention reflux when she told them? X
You could always suggest it to doc mention infant gaviscon.
It could be silent reflux it can burn their throat when feeding and they can be Really unsettled. Doesnt matter if its formula or breastfeeding x
My friend says he was the same when he was breastfeeding and hes frustrated when hes feeding too @laurabump27 x
If he cries after feeds it could be silent reflux they don't have to be sick to have it. If he cant settle it could be that... also it can make them seem hungry because when they drink it breifly soothes the burn.
Reflux??? And 4 oz is well enough. Especially if he is sick 5. Babies tummy is so small still. X
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TMI..
😂 my boyfriend was just playing around & he sucked my boob (nipple)
and he said something came out of it.
Lmaooo😅😭😂 anybody know what that was? I know it's not milk, baby isn't here yet? Doesn't it start with a C?
I know this sounds sooo fkedup but sometimes i wanna get into a bad accident so my husband sees exactly all the things i do ... and how wrong he is by saying i don’t do enough ( not in those words but the jist of it ) anyway .... i think this all the time . Maybe then he will think differently .
I'm looking for an infant car seat but I know nothing about the brands. There isn't too many product reviews online. I want to get the safest car seat I can find. Any suggestions?!??!?!❓❓❓
Opting out of 3hr glucose test
I just want to know have any of you ladies failed the one hr. test and opted out of taking the 3hr? My fiance doesnt think I should take the 3hr test. I understand where he is coming from as far as why would you drink that much glucose at once it seems like it causes alot of concern. I mean passing out and throwing up is all of that worth it? I know its for the health of me and my LO but geez. I felt horrible with the one hr. I am dreading the 3hr :l are there any...
My little girl was so bad from 3 weeks until 5 weeks and we then put her on hungry baby milk and she was a much more happy baby! She's not fatter than any other baby and seems a lot more content on it. Hope this helps x
