It seems like he is still pooping with every feeding so unfortunately I can't not change him yet, but I think that starts to slow down pretty soon. The past couple of nights we've changed / reswaddled before the bottle and that's helped a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2029280 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 12:11:22 +0000 miramira 2029280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with the others; don't unswaddle or change unless necessary. Also, if you pump milk at night, try feeding that to her instead of formula/day-pumped milk since night-time breastmilk contains sleep-inducing chemicals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027754 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:06:04 +0000 winniebee 2027754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only change diapers once a night (the times I let it go all night he gets a leak). Try that and leave swaddled. But I have to say even for my current baby who is 5w and BF he doesn't always go down easy after a motn feed. He is still sorting out days and nights..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027739 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:52:21 +0000 Charm54 2027739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as above posters - I premade the bottles (kept them in the fridge) and warmed one up when she woke up. I kept her swaddled unless she had pooped. It was bottle then right back to bed. If you ever want to talk about EPing, send me a wall msg! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027737 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:50:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 2027737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never swaddled, but i wouldn't' change diaper unless poopy, and i would make sure to not stimulate when feeding. No singing, talking, lights as low as possible, ect. She never had an issue. I would feed, burp, and lay back in RNP and rock her in that to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027697 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:26:22 +0000 AmandaB8 2027697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - I didn't unswaddle/change diapers unless poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027400 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 12:54:44 +0000 psw27 2027400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at that age, I think LO was either falling asleep as he ate or I was just holding him until he fell asleep and then putting him down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027364 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 12:36:10 +0000 BabyTsMom 2027364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also would not unswaddle or change diaper unless it's a poop. I didn't burp MOTN and it didn't seem to cause any gas issues. Have you tried giving the bottle in one session rather than doing half at a time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027128 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:42:27 +0000 Mamasig 2027128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, I changed his diaper first and then fed and burped him. Mine weren't swaddled. He usually passed right out with the bottle. If not, I stuck him in the rock n play, got back into bed, and rocked him until we both passed out. Eventually, I stopped diaper changes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027114 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:34:39 +0000 blackbird 2027114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh at 1 week old she was still in the RnP so she was inclined. I just rolled over, gave her a bottle and that was it. She was never a very burpy kid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027109 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:31:45 +0000 autumnlove 2027109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't unswaddle or change diapers unless you smell poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-bottle-fed-baby-back-to-sleep-in-motn#post-2027105 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:30:08 +0000 HappyBaker 2027105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first baby I nursed her to sleep until she was 8 or 9 months old and she'd always go down super easy after a MOTN feeding. This baby I am EP-ing and bottle feeding, and really struggling with getting him back to sleep at night! I usually unswaddle, feed half the bottle, burp, then change his diaper, reswaddle and give him the rest. But then he's just awake! </p> <p>He's only a week and a half old so maybe he will just eventually get the hang of it? </p>
