Hi everyone.

    Hi everyone.

    Our 10-week-old boy has been sleeping from 8 PM to 4 AM for a few weeks now. Sometimes even until 5 AM. Since we switched to Friso Comfort last week, he’s suddenly been sleeping for shorter stretches. Now he’s already crying around 1 AM. We can stretch it to 4 AM by giving him his dummy and bringing him into our bed, but I’d rather not have him sleeping between us. He gets 3 bottles of 150ml during the day and 180ml in the evening and night. He weighs 6.1 kg. Is the Comfort formula making him sleep less? Since he sleeps so well, we don’t want to wake him up around 11 PM for a bottle.

    He’s on Comfort because he spits up easily. He’s also taking Nexium for hidden reflux.

    We mix the formula with Friso Standard because with pure Comfort he had very loose stools and didn’t finish his bottles.

    Maybe someone has tips for us.

    Then it could be due to the type of formula. I have no experience with that; I breastfed both my daughters. If I were you, I'd go with Nutrilon. My sister is a doctor and swears by Nutrilon formula. Mechien fills FrieslandCampina milk, not enough. Greetings, Lieke. Have you tried a rocking bed like a cradle? We had one that was perfect. I put a mobile on that rocking cradle bed, and she danced along with the rocking motion while I could watch TV. I moved her bed, really ideal. Highly recommended. Greetings, Lieke.

    Gotta say I've been away for a bit, son is 18 months old.
    But have you tried a dad bottle for the evening?
    And our son had some time with nutrition in his food from Nutrilon. (that's carob powder or something)
    It's also for babies who spit up and makes the food thicker. And thus also fills up a bit more successfully
