Schedule

After I started work a month ago, baby's feeding changed. He feeds minimal during the day and feeds vigorously during the night, about 1.5-2hr apart, really tiring. Cries hysterically otherwise. Help.. What should I do and how should I start? Bf now, 6 mth. Many thanks :))

He misses you...that’s why when you’re home, he wants to latch through the night. In order to break that cycle, your hubby needs to help do bottle feeding at intervals at night, so baby will drink only if he’s truly hungry. Baby will scream a lot initially, but will gradually understand that you will not be latching on at such short intervals. Then if you latch on every 3-4 hrs, then he may get the hint and sleep longer to wait for that interval.

He's probably reverse cycling, catching up his feeds at night. My 5mo feeds 3-4 hrs interval in ifc but 1.5-2 hours at home too
