Hi ladies,
Until recently my 4 month old boy was feeding every 2-3 hours during the day and 1-2 times between 8pm and 6am.
For some reason in the past week he has switched to feeding every 2 hours start to start between 7pm and 7am and feeding once or twice properly during the day.
I honestly don't know what has prompted this. I try to feed him during the day but he either refuses completely or feeds literally for 1-2 minutes and then starts fussing and pulling away.
I've tried taking him upstairs away from distractions which isn't ideal anyway as I also have a 2 year old but it doesn't work.
I'm tired beyond belief. I can't sleep during the day as even with the issue of having my daughter as well as my son he still does more of his sleeping at night and is awake large portions of the day anyway. He hasn't literally switched night and day, just the way he feeds!
Anyone else been through this or have any ideas of how I can encourage him to change things back.
Obviously I know I can't force him to feed if he doesn't want to but surely there's something I can do?
