Hi there, I'm new to Mumsnet, I love the postings and wonder whether anyone can help me!!
My baby boy was full term 8 oz but has always been a mini eater! He is now 13 weeks and 16 pounds(!!) but is such a snacker and likes to eat 3 oz every 3 hours, including the night.
As sleeping is also an issue, I have bought the Baby Whisperer..the advice is that you MUST get him eating 6/7 oz a time, but I cant make him eat!! He is very sure when he's had enough and turns his head away from the bottle, and grizzles if you persist.!
He is a poor sleeper and I am revving up to start pick up put down on Monday...
It is nearly 4pm and he has only had 8oz since 2am...2oz at 2, 3oz at 8, 3oz at 12. We've been out in the car so he's had 2 big (2 hour) sleeps in between (unusual). Am just about to try to feed him again.
I know this isnt enough but he's just not interested.
Has anyone got any ideas as how to increase his dosage! He is able to take 6oz, and he used to take 5oz each feed at about 7 weeks.
Thank you xx
