My LB has just turned 6 months old so we’ve started weaning. Nothing much is going in at the minute but that’s okay - I know he’ll get there with that!
He’s a big boy (just below 99th centile for weight and height) and has the appetite to match. He’s formula fed and has always drunk a lot of milk. He slept through the night from around 7-14 weeks but since then, he’s woken for 2/3 feeds a night, it’s like we can’t get enough milk in him during the day.
We’d got him to the point of being able to be rocked to sleep for his naps in the day but that all went out the window at about 4.5 months when his first teeth cut through and his CMPA symptoms kicked in and since then, if there’s no milk going in, he isn’t sleeping! He might settle with a cuddle if he wakes in the night but you can guarantee he’ll wake again an hour later for milk.
I just can’t see how I’m ever going to drop bottles when he won’t sleep without one! I’ve tried everything to get him to sleep without one and even though he’s clearly exhausted, he’ll just cry horribly until I make him a bottle.
