Night feeding issues

2 replies

Hello all,
My DD is 14 weeks old and still wakes for a night feed. I am bottle feeding (she was tongue tied so bf failed 👎🏻). She is on cow and gate comfort milk and has 6oz at night. We use comfort milk as she suffered a bit if silent reflux and was very windy in the early weeks.
The issue I have is that once she has fed she immediately wants to go back to sleep and does so, however she is totally unsettled. She normally poo’s after most feeds in the day so I think the unsettled ness is down to digestion issues but she’s so tired she just wants to sleep.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could improve this? I was thinking maybe I could try normal milk again now her little digestive system has matured a bit and maybe she would not need to poo as often.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!?

At 14 weeks it is very normal for her to have night feeds, many little ones still wake for milk at 14 months.

You can always try changing milk to see if it makes a difference. You can also trying raising the moses basket/cot at the head end to help with the reflux. But it I s very normal for babies to be unsettled at night and it might just be they way she is t this age oppose to there being a problem.

Thank you, that’s reassuring, I might just give it some time. I know she still needs her night feeds and it’s normal, she guzzles them!
