Hello everyone - this is my first ever post on mumsnet so bear with me...:)
My son is 8 weeks old and is breastfeeding with a bottle of formula being given for his early morning feed. He is settled and feeding well throughout the day. However from 6pm onwards he becomes increasingly unsettled - kickng his legs/using my boobs as stress balls (for want of a better analogy)/shouting/pulling on my nipple etc etc. For the first time last night he became upset and as such I gave him a bottle which he drained. He was then very contented and settled. I have taken advice from breastfeeding mentors and they have advised warm bath for him before feed/skin to skin/breastfeeding necklace all of which I have tried to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing him to be unsettled and any ideas how to remedy it?
Thank you :)
