HELP!!!! - Feeding

My twins, who were also about two months early were sleeping through the night
consistently at three months-- I'm talking 11 or 12 hours uninterrupted.
Obviously, they did not eat during the night. On the very few occasions that
they woke hungry, I did feed them, but that probably only happened a dozen
times between three months and one year. They did get five or six bottles of
formula a day, though and much less real food than the OP describes.

consider sleeping through the night yet!)

They both wake up in the morning between 7am - 7:30am I give them their
bottle which they have between 5oz - 7oz.

Breakfast - weetabix @9am

Bottle@ 11am

Lunch@ 1pm Vegetables & Yoghurt each

Tea@ 4pm - 4:30pm Veg or baked beans and cheese followed by fruit

Bath 6pm

Bottle 6:30pm

With all due respect, you only describe them getting 2 bottles a day...

...okay, somebody emailed me to correct my reading comprehension - I had
missed the first bottle at 7am. However, I *still* stand by what I said
before, with edits. I still think 10-11 hours is too long to ask your
average 6 month old to sleep without waking to eat, and that such a baby who
wakes up wanting to eat *is* hungry, and needs to eat. I also stand by my
concern about there being adequate nutrition for a 6 1/2 month old infant
(corrected age) in 3 bottles and the solids described.

Ah!

But there's a world of difference between saying "Some babies will naturally
sleep through the night, even 12 hours straight at the age of 6 months" and
saying "Because some babies do, all babies *can*, and therefore this baby in
particular *ought* to, and night wakings indicate a problem because the
child *should not* be hungry".

Some babies naturally wake at night. Some babies naturally wake hungry.
This is not a problem for the baby. It *may* be a problem for the parents,
and it *may* be something that can be addressed by increasing caloric intake
during the day. With an infant of this age, I would increase calories via
formula (or breastmilk) rather than solids, or if solids must be used
instead, I would increase high-calorie foods such as full-fat yogurt or
avocado, rather than cereals, fruit or vegetables, which are primarily
carbohydrates and are lower calories per volume than formula, breastmilk, or
fatty foods like avocado.

Some babies don't want to eat during the day because they're so busy
learning new skills, and have to make up for their lack of calories at
night. Again, this is not a problem for the baby. It may be for the parent.
It is a temporary situation however.

My suggestions are fourfold:

First, dinner at 4:30 seems very very very early. Try to push it later 10
minutes or so every couple days until you get to say 5:30. At that age, my
triplets were eating at 7am (bottle), 8:45 (food), 11 (bottle), 12:30
(food), and finally 5:30pm (food) then bottle at 6:30-6:45 -- in bed at 7.
They had voluntarily given up the 3pm bottle, btw, not had it taken away.

Second, try to get a bit more food down her all day rather than just pushing
the bottle at night. I think feeding her just before you go to bed is a
fine idea, but you *might* like to try a night or tow of not doing so -- I
concluded with one of mine that part of the problem was gas in the night
that woke her and then she wanted food to sleep again. When I cut back on
evening feeds, she had less gas and she actually did better. Just something
to try.

Third, neither of my girls went without a bottle and/or slept through the
night til they were well over a year -- one was 19 months when she quit the
bottle at night habit (and slept thru), the other was about 15 months but
then still needed us to find her pacifier several times a night til she was
almost 2. Now, I need my sleep more than the next girl, but frankly, it's
not that big a deal once you learn to *minimize* the sleep disruption by
*maximizing* the speed of the event.
SO: if you can't get her to sleep thru yet, then make sure that
everything is organized so you are out of bed the minimum amount of time.
We used mini bottles (2 oz) from the ICU that Girl #1 could hold herself, so
we didn't have to get her out of the crib and waste all that time and
energy. If you don't have those, a couple of 4 oz bottles might be a good
investment and don't fill them full. That way, there's no need to burp her,
either. The bottle was ready in the fridge. 22 seconds in the microwave.
A good shake. She just sucks it down and goes back to sleep. With
practice, I could be back in bed in under 5 minutes (2 minutes once she was
big enough that I didn't have to worry about her choking -- she just threw
the bottle away when she was done!!). Daddy did the duty on Fri and Sat, me
during the week.

Finally, go to bed earlier yourself. I got into the habit of going to bed
at about 9:15 for a few years. Yes, it cut back on my evening (although I'm
lucky to get even 2.25 hours to myself these days since EHC go to bed so
much later now) but the shorter evening was worth it for *not* feeling like
s**t every morning.

Just want to add that I totally agree with Angela (Chotii). While I would
try to push food (and, as she says, especially FORMULA) during the day, and
feed dinner later, and reduce the potential for nighttime gas by a good burp
or a smaller feeding in the night, and all the things I suggested, I totally
agree that if she's hungry at night she needs to be FED no matter what other
things are being tried day by day to reduce the wakefulness.

I absolutely agree with you, Angela-- if the kid is waking up hungry (which is
what I would assume with a child this young!) feed him/her!! In my exhausted
state last night, I wasn't really clear-- but wanted to point out that some
kids do sleep through that early. Also wanted to point out that at the same
age my kids were getting lots more formula and likely more calories during the
day-- which may have helped. I really didn't mean to imply there was a problem
with the night wakings-- or that hunger isn't the problem-- I think it is
hunger that is waking the child. My four-month-old is not sleeping through the
night, so I didn't get totally lucky with all my kids. And she's not getting
close to it, I don't think. So, it could be a few months for me, too-- and
that's okay. I think you have to adjust your thinking and schedules a bit-- go
to bed earlier and *expect* to have to get up. That makes it easier for me!!
Sorry to be so muddled-- I hope this post makes more sense, though I make no
promises!!

Can I just clear things up for you all.

If either of my girls wake up hungry in the night they get a bottle, simple,
although this happens 3 or 4 nights a week and only with Abbie. Olivia
sleeps right through most nights, waking up "for a chat" not crying or
hungry!

They get a bottle at 7am, 11am and before they go to bed, with solids in
between. They get plenty of milk with Weetabix (full fat cows milk) and a
good supply of vitamins, minerals etc with other foods (such as beef,
chicken, fruit, veg etc). They eat plenty of yoghurt too which has
development milk in it. They have been feeding for themselves (ie. no nasal
tubes) for 7.5 months too.

They are gaining weight and seem happy until I try giving Abbie milk before
she goes to bed. Having said that she has improved in the last week as
we've left the last feed until a little later and made sure she is too tired
to try and put up a fight (she then has 7 to 8ozs!). A few people have said
she plays up because she doesn't want to go to bed and I'm beginning to
believe them!

I only came on this newsgroup for advice, not criticism. I have plenty of
friends who have children that have slept through from 3 or 4 months old and
some from 7pm to 9am, which is 14 hours.

Choti - are you a professional mother or just think everyone should do what
you've done?

Thanks to the sympathetic ears among you!!
