Just wondering if there is a link baby having enough formula/feeds in the day to sleeping through the night? I keep reading conflicting information.
Reason I ask first two dc slept through the night pretty quick. Dd1- from 8 weeks
Dd2- 12-13 weeks
All good weights and had lots of bottles through the day.
Now with dd3 she is 16 weeks. Hardly finishes her bottles. I would say on average shes taking 4oz per feed! Whihc is nowhere near reccomended amount as shes only having 5-6 feeds. Some feeds only 3oz. She hardly ever finishes her 5oz bottles. And shes waking up in the night but sometimes refuses milk so thats why im so confused?
Her last weight was 12lb 11oz which I think is on the low side.
Just really struggling with the night feeds atm becausw due back to work month 5 so hoping by then she would be in a more settled routine but doesnt look promising:(

Sleep is developmental and personal to each child. Research shows no correlation between how a baby sleeps and how they feed. 16 weeks is also right in the 4 month sleep regression when it’s common for babies sleep to be more unsettled, though it doesn’t sound like this is new.

It’s very very normal for babies to wake in the night for the whole first 18 months, your previous two children are far more unusual for sleeping through early and that not changing. The first year is usually very up and down with sleep.
