Im going to be ringing the health visitor when they open again tomorrow but needed some opinions/advice and no bashing please as all Im doing is trying my best. My little girl is 5 months and from a young age she was drinking a lot of milk and every couple of hours. We moved her onto hungry baby milk and alas she stuck to 3.5-4 hours between feeds and even down to one feed per night and bedtime routine was a bliss , walk bath bottle then bed no problem. She slowed down on her milk and in my opinion wasnt drinking enough , she should have been drinking 210ml every 4 hours but was just about managing 150ml and sometimes for longer than 4 hours. We do have her on food too but only small amounts and I would only give her food after a bottle. We thought that she doesnt need hungry baby milk any more so took her off it and put her back on stage 1 still with food , she drinks better during the day now .Since we have done that its like we have a nightmare baby. Grumpy during the day , hard to please no matter what , very clingy like I cant give her to my family for more than 20 minutes. At night she has her usual walk bath bottle bed routine but this is where it gets hard , she screams and cries hysterically and it has taken 2 hours each night to get her to nod off, she wont allow my family to put her to bed only me ATM. The first night we thought she was poorly or teething so gave her calpol and teething gel still nothing. Now we realise it is a really bad temper she has as soon as shes picked up shes fine. Do we put her back on hungry baby milk as this is the only change and before although she wasnt drinking what I wanted she was happy and bedtime wasnt a complete battle. Plus her weight is fine Ive had her weighed and no problems. Someone shed some light please Im exhausted physically and mentally . Sorry for the long post everybody x
