So I have an 18 week old baby boy. He drinks 6/7oz every 4-5 hours. He is not giving me much sleep at all in the night. He recently started napping longer in the afternoon but mostly his naps are around 40mins in the day. Night time is crazy... Or normal? I know it's not what my first born did but she was text book and so easy.
So he will go to bed for the night anytime between 7 and 8pm. His feed is usually around 6ish pm. He will sleep until he is due a bottle 5 hours after the one before bed and then wakes 4 hours after that one (does that make sense?) give him 7oz every time and he drinks the lot. Last night he ended up having 9oz before bed and still woke 5 hours later for a full 7oz bottle. He is waking up between 4 and 6am has a bottle and refuses to go back to sleep. Does this boy need more food? It's been going on for weeks! I don't want to start weaning until 6 months but do I need to? Dream feeds do NOT work I've tried them. Bath before bed doesn't work. Going to bed the same time as him... I still don't get enough rest. What am I doing wrong? He has a tooth about to break through and I suppose the four month sleep regression but it just feels like I'm doing something wrong or he needs food? I don't know what to do.
