Our DS is 11 weeks and a healthy eater. Couldn't keep up with him on the breast (also had a tendency to thrash around and struggle to latch on) and so now combine a little bit of breast feeding with mainly bottle.
Although feeding patterns are more regular now, he still takes in most of his food between 5pm and 9pm often accompanied by lots of crying because he struggles with wind. Feeding is quite exhausting becuase he is constantly thrashing around and howling and it takes forever to get the right quantity of food into him.
Having said that, he then sleeps through the night!
What can we do to encourage him to take more food earlier in the day?
Tried infacol and gripe water for the wind and am thinking about fennel tea or chamomile tea to try and help having looked at some other discussion chains...any advice?
