Help! - Could thi be a growth spurt??? (Also in Born in May)
in Baby
Hi Ladies
Looking for some advice / reasurance please.
LO is 5 weeks old tomorrow, we are formula feeding now having struggled with combination feeding for the first 4 weeks, the last week DD has happily (more or less anyway!) been taking a 4 oz bottle 6 times a day, but does not like being winded and is often sick after a feed.
However the last 24 hours have not been good, DD has taken a bottle and is then crying and trying to eat her hands after 2.5 - 3 hours, we have tried offering another bottle which she will take half of before losing interest and falling asleep. Only to wake up 2.5 - 3 hours later - so the cycle repeats!
But we're really at a loss as to what to try next, we have now resorted to a dummy, which I really don't want to make a habit of as she has self settled since day one and don't want a dummy to become the norm!
If it is a growth spurt what is the best way of hadling and how long do they generally last?
Any advice gratefully appreciated.
Hugs
