Re: Baby’s sleep
mine is on a very similar schedule, also at almost 5 months. he was waking up every 4 hours because he was hungry. have you considered bfeeding him for longer or giving him top feed just before his bedtime? when i upped my kids’ milk by an ounce, he suddenly went to eating every 6 hours- only wakes up once at night now- and sometimes even sleeps thru the night! hunger is probably the likely culprit for his waking up. his paed also said to give him his paci because sometimes they wake up out of habit… so try soothing him first and see if he settles before feeding him.
He doesnt drink from the bottle - only breastfeeding him. I have tried giving him from both breast just before bed time but he would wake up within 2 hours for more…
