SMA Hungry Baby

[Mummy~L]

Hi

Just looking for some advice. Bobby has always been a very good sleeper. Has his last feed between 9.30 - 10pm and then wakes once at approx 3am then wakes up for the day (and next bottle) at 9am. He has SMA gold milk.

Just this last week he has started waking 3-4 times in the night and is very unsettled until I feed him at 3am then has started waking at 7am for next feed. I know I have been spoilt with the amount of sleep we get compared to others so it doesnt really bother me getting up now but just wondered if it would be ok to start trying SMA hungry baby milk as his last feed.

Just looking for anyones experiences really? Will it settle Bobby back down to just one night feed?

Not really sure if he is waking as he is hungry or just waking up generally? Seems to settle for a while again once fed though??

Thanks

I would say 'try it and see'.

We had the same thing happen when Earl was about 2 months old, and I started to put hungry baby in his last bottle as he was waking 3-4 times in the night instead of his normal once. It worked for a while, and he went back to normal but his daytime feeds became really erratic so I tried him on HB totally. Then he started to get blocked up, really cranky, being sick, all sorts of things that was just not him. I took him off the HB milk completely and within 24hours of him going back onto first stage, he was back to normal and sleeping normally again.

I think it was a growth spurt which could be what your LO is going through. Some people do use the HB on an night and have no problems. Some use half and half throughout the day and it works.

Earl is also on SMA gold and we switched to SMA blue (HB) so I guess it's worth a try but it may only last a week or so then he'll go back to normal. Entirely up to you.
