What to do...evening feed?
in Baby
Alfie (can you tell who the awkward 1 is! lol) is not drinking his nighttime bottle at all now. I wouldnt mind but for 2 reasons...he doesnt get dairy any other way (although we have the milk challenges booked for 21st Oct) and he is waking anywhere between 2am and 4am and not going back to sleep. Im dead from lack of sleep, although I can cope with that. I just wish I knew why he was waking. Im assuming he's hungry as, at 4am he wouldnt have eaten anything for 12hrs, but they havent had a nightfeed for 5-odd months and I dont want to start that!
We stopped the Gaviscon last week, and I have now put it back in incase that was the problem, and he still isnt pooping as normal, although the prunes are helping.
I was wonderingabout giving them some 'supper'. I still want to offer the bottle but at the moment, if he doesnt drink it, he's getting nothing.
Does anyone have any experience of this? I was thinking about giving them some porridge - not loads but so they have something in their tummies at bedtime (I say 'they' as Ryan is a food feind so if he sees me giving Alfie something he'll scream till he gets some too!)
They only have 2 bottles a day now, but at 5.45am I finally gave in and gave him his bottle and he gulped it down like he'd never been fed!
Sorry if ive rambled!

Reece is 29 weeks on tues so younger than your boys and he has been fine xx Let me know how you get on with the milk thing in October as I would be interested if there are any tips xx
good luck xx
Have you tried a cup with alfie? You can get rubber spouted ones which my ds loves.
I hope you find a solution soon, I know the feeling of being dead on your feet and could only imagine what it must be like caring for two little men on little or no energy x
