follow on milk


LO has been on Aptamil Comfort since birth, he is now taking 3 bottles of between 6 and 8 oz a day along with 3 meals. However, he is now waking up during the night hungry. I dont know what to do. He wont take any more milk during the day and wont eat more solids. Just wondering if I change his formula to follow on would this fill him up a bit more? Or any other recommendations to help him sleep thru the nite?

I don't think there are extra calories in follow on milk. I think it just contains more iron then stage 1 formula. I could be wrong tho. Austin is a pretty good sleeper but has taken to waking early just lately so we're trying a bowl of porridge as supper before his bedtime bottle which seems to be going down well. Could you try similar? He might surprise you and want a little bit of food before bed

with being on the comfort milk you might want to try swapping the last bottle with the hungry milk first just to see how he he manages with the change in milk

Thanks, he already has a bowl of porridge before his bath, then bottle then bed.
Tbh, i think i need to focus on getting him to eat more solids. He loves food but is very energetic and I think he sees eating as a waste of time, he wants to be exploring so 5 minutes of stuffing his face and then he cries to get down from table. Hopefully if he eats more solids things will get better.

One more question - could it be that he is teething again? He already has 6 teeth but is def getting more. I hear people saying about their baby not sleeping due to teething but I always assumed the baby would be crying, my LO isnt crying at all, just wide awake!

When he gets up does he have a wet nappy or anything like that which might disturb his sleep.

I cant think what else to suggest sounds like your doing it all.

I can only suggest you give aptimil a call, i tried there helpline last week and found it brilliant lots of suggestions and very friendly.

His nappy is wet in morning but by no means soaking and I cant imagine that would be what is disturbing him. Its so difficult as Ive become so used to getting a great nights sleep! Think i will contact aptamil and see what they recommend.!Thanks!
