I am a new, first time mummy. I have a 6 week old son who used to sleep for 4-5 hours at a time when BF, but now we have gone to formula, he is managing 3 hours at a push, which results in him being a little grumpier during the day. Consoling him has become harder and he routes for more food, even after the recommended 4oz feed. (recommended by health visitor)
Should I increase the feed? I read somewhere that giving a baby more food doesn't make them sleep longer. Obviously there is the constant worry that I may over feed him?
Can anyone offer any advise to get him back to his regular sleep pattern? I warm his bed feed, but he still wakes after a few hours. Am I doing something wrong? HELP!
