4mnth old breatfeeding every 3 hours & signs of Reflux....Any Tips??

[LexieH]

Hi there, can anyone help please?

My DS is waking to be fed in the night every 3 hours. He has gone as long as 4 hours and sometimes 5 in the past but for the last couple of months he has settled at every 3 hours. In the day he can go 4 hours in between feeds on most days. Any tips? He also has signs of reflux.... has anyone experienced this? We were prescribed Infant Gaviscon but it's not making any difference. For the last 2 nights he was awake and screaming in pain every 20/30mins... it was a nightmare!!!

thanks x

1. At around 16 weeks there is a hug growth spurt/sleep regression so waking up more than previously done is perfectly normal.

2. If you don't think his meds are working go back to the docs. There is other things you can try.

3. Pop over to the Breast and Bottle feeding board on here as there is lots of very lovely women who are very knowledgable about these things.
