Change in feeding habits..

[SaraLouise]

Harrison has gone from having 30-40 minute feeds every 2-3 hours to having 10-15 minute feeds every 45mins-1 hour. Its driving me nuts..

I've tried everything to get him to take more at a time but he's having none of it. What can I do?!

He was so grumpy & restless yesterday & I really do think its because he was hungry. He wouldn't sleep for more than 10 minutes all day.

I gave him 150ml of aptimil at 9pm and he slept for 5 hours!

Must be really exhausting and frustrating for you. Am assuming all ok with wet dirty nappies and gaining weight well?

If so I'm sure it will just be a phase and ordering more milk in preparation to do more sleeping and growing soon.

Of course it could be a leap.....around 8 weeks is classic for their second leap...... I found when Luca was going through a leap he would get more fussy, sleep less well and feed less well.

It soon shall pass...

Yep nappies normal and everything.

Hopefully it doesnt last too long then!

Just had a look at my wonder weeks app and for his age says "wants to breastfeed all day long but doesn't really drink and craves physical contact"

Sounds like this to me?

Stick with it Hun. It's blooming hard!
