Recently my baby doesn't want to eat and wakes up several times at night. Any ideas on how to soothe him?

Question

I have a 3 month old baby. He has always been good eating and sleeping at night. Recently he doesn't want to eat and he's also been waking up several times at night screaming. I don't know how to appease him. Is there anything I can do? Or do I just let him be?

Answer 1

My sister's daughter was doing the same thing. The formula was hard on her stomach. He pediatircian changed her milk to Enfamil's Gentlease formula. After that her stamoch has been great. I also told her, for her night bottle sprinkle baby cereal in the milk and the baby will sleep all night. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Answer 2

if he is not having any other medical problems, then maybe it's the milk? ask the doctor about changing it. the formula may be causing his stomach to hurt or if there is stress in the household this could be a different story! my son used to be the same way, his father and i did nothing but scream at each other and this took a toll on his stress level! believe it or not babies sense these things! good luck!
