any mummies have suggestions how to make babies drink more/ put on weight?
my boy had been drinking 120ml every 3-4hrs since 2mths old. Hasn't been able to increase since then. In his 3rd mth, he only gained 300g and is now only 6kg. He's coming to 4 mths old next week. In fact, I felt he had lost a bit of weight after I started work and his flesh are less meaty. PD had suggested to increase his milk intake when we went for the 3rd mth assessment. But last week, he was down with cough and running nose. Since then, he has been refusing milk. He only drinks 30ml-60ml over several intervals. Feeding can take almost an hr and yet he couldnt finish the 120ml at all. Always end up having to throw the balance cos he'll be sleepy after all the distraction and coaxing to drink milk. Now a bit worrying cos his weight is already on the lower side and now he's refusing more. Any advise?
Am feeling so tired now taking care of him. Got to work in the day, rush to express milk for him during lunch time and before coming home. But when come home, he will fuss so much when it comes to feeding time. Feel so demoralised to bf. And nowadays, he will sleep around 7-8pm and wakes up around 10pm to play until 11pm/12am. Is it bad habit for babies this age? All the schedule I fixed before going back to work has all been messed up. Can see that he's getting to understand things and is always curious about the surroundings. Really worried that he'll pick up all the bad habits. Any good books to recommend on "disciplining" babies?
