Feeding baby longer?

So we went and saw a nurse from kaleidoscope.

Can you offer him a protein meal for dinner and seen if it helps? What's he having for dinner atm? Try adding meat or eggs to his dinner if he isn't already having it

I can't express. Well I can express but literally get 30ml.. Takes me about 10 minutes to get that and no more will come out. I've tried stopping and starting etc, nothing works ? he just fights off because he's done. So it's impossible to get him to feed for 20 min.

Could you be having a second let down? He might need you to express a little so the flow isnt so strong

Macca this was my daughter at that age to a tee! She would nt sleep and I think I had post about it too!

She is not much better and refuses to fall back to sleep without the breast.

Breastfed babies tend to use the breast for comfort more then food...

I'm only offering the breast, I'm not trying to force it down his throat ?

I'm not having anymore f^cking kids in that case ? I don't mind the day feeds but the night feeds are ridiculous. One can only last so long on little/no sleep ?

Honestly, feeding that often is normal. My eldest fed at least every 2-3 hours til 2. She was also petite. You can't force a baby to feed longer, and be careful you don't create a negative association to breast feeding by forcing it. I would just offer more frequently and leave it at that.

Some babies are small and snack frequently, others are bigger.

He is. He's 7 months and one week and he's been on solids since he was 6 months. He's having 3 meals a day and no change in sleep. ?

Is he on solids? My son got a lot better with his sleep pattern once I put him in solids.

That's not to say you should buy it worked for me. He will eventually grow out of it.

Oh true. Yeah you need a referral for residential stays.. But they do have a parent hotline so over the phone help aswell. Hope that helps

I saw them in Raymond terrace. The only useful thing she told me was about a eczema clinic in John hunter I should get a referral to for Noah.

He's up every 2 hours, sometimes less. He won't go back down without a feed. I've tried to have someone else settle him and he just screams and screams until I feed him ?

Where abouts did you see them at?! I saw one at Belmont & literally walked out like you, no better off. What's his night time normally like wake/sleep wise?
