My baby is now 5.5 months old and EBF. He will take a bottle of expressed milk but refuses all types of formula. At 8-14 weeks, he would sleep 5 hours and then 3 hours at night. Since then, sleep has gotten progressively worse and he sleeps a maximum of 2 hours a night before waking. I feel like I have a newborn again! Has anyone else experienced this?
