Sleep regression?
My partner and I combi feed our 12 week old son. He used to have 2/3 bottles of formula a day but since last Saturday he has 1 bottle around 9/10pm or sometimes none at all. I’ve noticed he’s been waking up almost every hour at night since the number of bottles have reduced. He used to have at least 1 4 hour stretch of sleep at night. He slept for almost 7 hours on a few occasions. He seems quite unsettled when he sleeps at night now. I’m wondering if the quality of his sleep has been affected due to the reduction in formula or if he’s going through a sleep regression. Has anyone experienced this?

We can definitely see the difference in ours if he’s not eaten his usual amount during a 24 hour period. Is there a reason the formula has dropped? X
@Jess I found BF quite difficult to begin with, so we started combi feeding due to that. I’m finding it a lot easier now, so we’ve cut down on the formula x

My wee boy the same if he doesn’t have a last bottle he wakes up more in the night (1 to 3 times random) so if falls asleep at 7/8 and if he hasn’t had the last bottle we wake him at like 10/11 feed half the bottle, turn lights off feed other half then he falls asleep nearly straight away again and sleep til 6 mostly or a few times 5 or 7am That’s what works for us we not on a set schedule but he has about 5/6 bottles a day and if he only has 4 we wake him for the 5, he’s 3 months and being doing that for about 3 weeks works brilliant
