My daughter will be two months old on monday and up until the last two weeks she would eat 3-4 ounces every bottle ever 3-4 hours even at night. i was ok with getting up with her at night then. lately she has been so out of wack its starting to wear on me.sometimes she will eat 1 oz then 2 hours later eat 4 then 4 hours later eat 2oz so on and so forth. I cant get her back into routine and i cant just leave her crying and make her wait longer for a bottle. i feel like im going crazy and dont know what to do. She is not gassy or anything. and i know shes hungry cuz she screams and sucks at her hands and nothing calms her down except the bottle. she spits out her soother if i give it to her. has anyone else been through this or have any advice on what i can do to get her back into routine. ive tried bed at the same time every night and a bath before the bottle then bed. i just dont know what to do anymore and the lack of sleep is starting to get to me. plz help
 
Hmm sounds rough! You could try feeding sooner. Instead of pushing the four hour rule try feeding every 3 hours to get her back going. Babies need to be able to predict when they are hungry. So if she eats 1 oz and then isn't hungry for another 4 hours try feeding at 3 hours. She may not take muh but it will help with the following feeding. Does that make any sense?

(I'm 3 hours south of you by the way!! Boo for snow did you get a dump last nigt too?)
 
We barely got any snow. I can still see grass. its pretty cold out tho. Thanks for the advice. ill try that. its getting pretty frustrating having no schedual what so ever.
 
What kind of formula are you using? I feel for you. A schedule like that would drive me crazy. I hope it gets sorted soon. Do you have normal diapers? Wet and dirty throughout the day? Just wondering if trying a new taste might help. I use concentrate cans. They are sweeter and smoother so I think he likes it better. We used powder before but I don't think he took to it well at all. Too gritty.
