Most nights he is only waking 1 last night he got up 2 times but mostly one or none now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972261 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 10:33:45 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1972261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: thanks! she just fought thru an entire feed and only took 3 ounces in 30 min and its stuff like this that make me not even want to rock the boat, but I know it would be much better for dh and me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972206 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 10:06:01 +0000 MrsRcCar 1972206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: I would drop it and see how she does. Hope you all get more sleep soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972157 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:28:03 +0000 ShootingStar 1972157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's possible that if you drop the night feed she may be more hungry during the day, especially in the morning when she wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972152 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:27:04 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1972152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yeah i think we should.. going back to ped today so i'll discuss with her, but we are going to start adding Polycal to her bottles for extra calories and beginning cereal so hopefully she won't drop. i just hate being so obsessed with every little 1/4oz of milk, not to mention getting super anxious before each feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972147 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:26:01 +0000 Mamasig 1972147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: I would try for a couple of days. Like pp said, if she starts losing you'll know and can resume the nighttime feed. She may surprise you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972144 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:24:00 +0000 blackbird 1972144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: Well i would totally try it and see if you can squeeze more in her the rest of the day and keep track of her weight. If it's not enough, she'll start dropping and you'll know!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972140 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:22:58 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1972140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yeah i'd LOVE to (and so would dh - he's the one who does this feeding) just worried she won't get enough without it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972137 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:22:19 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1972137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: i am starting her this weekend trying oat cereal for the first time (she has really bad reflux so we've been holding off to see if it was allergy-related) and frequently refuses bottles. it takes so much work to get her to drink 25oz a day so i really do count on that night bottle.. sigh.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972135 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:21:46 +0000 blackbird 1972135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possibly? I would totally drop a feeding if she doesn't wake up to eat it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972132 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:20:37 +0000 Mamasig 1972132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try it and give her more in her daytime bottles and see if she takes it.<br /> Is she eating solids? Mine naturally dropped bottles as they began eating more too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-stop-the-middle-of-the-night-bottle#post-1972128 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:18:13 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1972128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A has had a lot of trouble gaining weight with her reflux issues and, at almost 7 months (almost 5 corrected), we are still feeding her a middle-of-the-night bottle. We have to wake her for the bottle and she will take about 4oz which we need to get us to her total for the day. Her last bottle before that is around 10:30p and I know she would gladly (and us too!) sleep thru the night after that if we let her. </p> <p>I'm just worried that if we stop this bottle she will not get the ounces that she so needs. With the dropped feed will she soon realize that she needs to take more during her other 6 bottles? </p>
