I need help guys my doctor said to give the baby rice for his last meal for the night bc he's not sleeping threw the night. She gave me some instruction but I'm still confused on how much milk he shoukd get for his last bottle
Get a new doc girl. No one should be recommending cereals to fill his stomach, it’s empty nutrition and will not do anything for his sleep. It’s not abnormal for babies to not sleep through the night, hell I don’t even sleep through the night some nights! Sounds like your baby is doing fine.
You're at 4 months right now that's when the WORST sleep regression happens. No amount of rice will help him sleep. Your doctor shouldve told you about that. Dont give your baby solids so soon they're not ready to digest it. You just have to ride out the sleep regression like the rest of us
@jenny955 some babies will sleep through the night at that age, some wont. Sleep regressions are different with every baby as well. One thing is for sure, using solids so early is not a good thing and isnt necessary
@vvrobinson she said just once a day before bed that's all
@jenny955 I wouldnt even then. Mine offered it too but it's not a requirement at all. A lot of doctors are against it
At 4 months, its normal for baby not to sleep through the night. He will sleep longer stretches, but definitely not the whole night. He will sleep through the night when he is ready.
6 months is the time where you can introduce solids.
Feel like my sons doctor is going to tell him the same thing 🙄he has his 4 month appointment next week and he hasn’t slept three the night yet he wakes up every 2 hours but I though your not supposed to feed them that until 6 months I’ve read rice cereal is meant to start between 4-6 months but recommend at 6 but all my friends kids started around 4 or 5 months
Ki doesn't sleep through the night but I do feed her baby food and cereal twice a day around 9-10am and 7-8pm and a bottle with each feed .. occupy him about an entire hour after last feed. . diaper change play you may get a good 3-4 hrs straight that's just what I do with Ki though
Then she will want a bottle and changed when she wakes up then I cuddle her and she goes right back to sleep about another 2 hrs and so forth
He goes down every night between 9-10 and sleeps 6 hours. Then will go back down after that idk why she wants him to sleep longer
Don't give you baby rice in a bottle at 4 months its normal for them to wake up at night
He's 4months old. He isn't meant to sleep through the night yet!! What is it with these doctors making this "night" thing so important?! He is small. His stomach is small. He needs frequent meals to be healthy.
He’s only 4 months he shouldn’t be sleeping through the night. When he is ready to do so he will my son woke up literally 10x a night until 1 1/2 but I did do the the milk and rice cereal and it didn’t work any different.
Yeah that's what I thought they want me to inturduce jar food in 2 weeks if he likes the rice and oatmeal
@jenny955, I introduced baby foods early i didn’t wait until 6 months like most do I did 4 1/2 months almost 5 and my kids are both healthy and fine it’s all about what your comfortable with :) everyone raises their child/ren differently 💚
Mine has never slept through the night yet. 🤷🏼♀️
Just call the drs office and speak with a nurse to help you.
He goes to bed between 9-10 every night will wake up around 2ish for a bottle then around 6 for another one. She said he should be sleeping all night and he's eating to much
At four months I wouldn’t give him any🤷♀️ he doesn’t need it.. he will sleep threw the night when he is ready my oldest didn’t sleep threw the night till he was 14 months and he is back to waking up atleast 1-2 times a night at 2.5 and my youngest is 13 months and still wakes up constantly both eat a full dinner before bed

Rainbow in the sky after walking my 2 mutts last night. Here's to hoping for us all! ?

Is this chicken pox?
He has eczema on his shoulders, but the rash on his back is different, appeared last night and he now has some on his neck and chest too.
Help!

Sooooo I bought 3 goats last night ???
I swear my husband is gunna get my ass pregnant if he doesn't keep his hands to himself, oh. & the condom broke last night 🙄 there goes $50 more dollars lol
3 months today omg morning sickness is on a 💯 since last night 😭😭😭😭
Id just stick with his normal routine. My daughter is almost 15 months and has always woken up about every 3 hours at night. Unfortunately it's just something you have to adjust to. Maybe around 6 months try with a heavier baby food right before bed mixed with some cereal.
