Hi everyone.

Any advise welcomed please.

Little one just turned 5 months. She has feeds typically at 7am. 11am. 3pm. 7pm. She wakes for feed around 1230am. Or within 30 mins and takes around 3oz to 4 oz.

The morning feed is becoming a struggle to get into her. She's refusing her full feed.

All bottles made to 7oz except bedtime and morning which are 8oz. Takes between 5oz to 8oz each feed.

I feel the nighttime one is impacting the day feeds.

Any advise? I know night weaning isn't suggested until.... well depends which advise you listen too.

If I try feeding her 3 hourly, to potentially gain more milk in her. She promptly tells me to go away by screaming full throttle in my face 🤣 so in effect a dream feed would not work 😑

Is this a stick it out until night weaning? I feel the feed as come a bit of a habit for her.

Thanks

Could you feed her between 10 and 12 pm, whatever suits you? We essentially a dream feed.

That would be a minima of 3 hours from her last feed but gives her a good gap before her next feed.
