5 month old will only drink milk at night - refusing all day feeds!

[Mummytobe333]

My girl is almost 6 months. From 8 weeks she’s been a GREAT sleeper. Sleeping 8pm-8am with just 1 night feed which she was never that fussed about anyway.
She drank every 3 hours during the day and was always getting plenty milk.

Suddenly around 6 weeks ago she is totally refusing day time feeds, sometimes going 12 hours with just a few gulps here and there (like a few oz at most full day)
& is now waking 3 times a night for 7oz bottles.
it’s like she’s switched her milk schedules around from day vs night.

Has anyone been in a situation like this and can offer advice?

I have tried weaning the night feeds to get her drinking more during the day but it’s only getting worse and she’s waking more and more at night and refusing more and more during the day.

Yes, it’s called reverse cycling.

We had it with DD1 but if was due to allergy issues. DD2 was also difficult to feed during the day at this age. We found feeding in a quiet room with no one around to be helpful.

My wee boy did this too, was so hard! Definitely try a quiet room, low light, maybe some white noise to block out all distraction as that's all that worked for mine. Did gradually get better after starting weaning!
