Formula feeding question.

[Cheeseplantandpickle]

After breastfeeding my first two children, we’ve decided to combination feed. I feed during the day and before bed then my husband has been doing the midnight/1 am slot with our five week old. However, he can’t get him back to sleep and I end up feeding him to sleep, so I’m not getting the benefit of him doing the bottle in the night.
Is it normal for FF babies to take a while to go back to sleep? Or is it because I’m also breast feeding? Any tips welcome.

I'm DS is FF and will have a bottle then about 10 minutes chatting to himself and then go to sleep. Does your DS fall asleep on you? Could he just have associated you with milk then sleep?

He does fall asleep on me, but after taking both sides for 20 mins each. (He’s still quite slow). He’ll sleep for 3 hours after that. He’ll take the bottle from my husband but then he’s just awake.
