Babies apparently have difficulty sleeping through the night when they don't have enough to eat. I had done some research on this early in Trent's life. Eating can effect all aspects of a baby's day. Some kids become fussy, don't sleep, and cry a great deal. This is in addition to the obvious skinny appearance of the kids. Disclaimer: Ask your doctor...I am certainly not a professional. I could tell something was up because he was always eating. He would be finished eating and in what seemed like an hour he was fussing again to eat.
Anyway, my otherwise happy man was having difficulty getting through the night without eating a great deal. When I told my doctor he wasn't yet sleeping through the night, she told me to feed him more by giving him some oatmeal. We attempted to spoon feed him the liquidy oatmeal, but as you can see, he was spitting it all over the place. We put it in his bottle now and he took it in. Unfortunately, his digestive system had some problems with it. He didn't sleep at all. We have decided to just feed him more formula during the day. It worked and he slept all the way through last night! 8 pm- 5 am...what a wonderful night.
