Bottle feeding
Screaming baby!
MiekeGuest ·
Dear moms...
For the past few days, we've been having trouble getting our 10-week-old baby to settle down in his crib...
Our little one's routine before being put to bed goes like this: bath at 9:40 PM, then his bottle, a burp, and then... endless walking around the house. He doesn't want to fall asleep on his own anymore (before, we could keep him upright while sitting in the armchair, but he won't do that anymore; he pushes, stretches out...). He was on Beba, which he was actually quite happy with (but his bowel movements were delayed, meaning I usually have to insert a suppository after three days, as he clearly finds it very unpleasant). The osteopath suggested we consider changing formula, K&G didn't know what to advise, and the pediatrician said this would be "temporary" and that we should just wait it out (we've been waiting for a month now, with no improvement). Today, following the pharmacy's advice, we started with Nutrilon Omneo. He cries, stretches, kicks, hits with his hands... in short, we're at our wit's end. Is there any supplement I can add to Beba so that he has a bowel movement every day/every two days? Walking around until the early hours of the morning is a temporary fix, but not a proper solution.
Thanks in advance!

It might also help to put him to bed earlier. Maybe he's already tired earlier on and has passed his sleep window by around half past nine, which is why he's having trouble falling asleep. Worth trying? You can add a little olive oil to his bottle to help with his bowel movements; it won't do any harm at all.
Good luck! -

Hi Mieke, that's so annoying.
I also had a lot of hassle with my little one regarding putting him to bed.
I used to give my little one a bath at 8 and then put him to bed.
But if he didn't want to sleep, we'd spend the whole night trying to get him to sleep.
I adjusted this fairly quickly and now he's in bed around 7.
Sometimes 6 if he shows signs of being tired.
I first felt guilty that he goes to bed so early, but because of this, I have a little boy who now happily laughs and plays.
And when he's difficult about sleeping, we don't spend the whole night struggling.
Maybe a tip for you to put him to bed a bit earlier.
By the way, I moved his bath to the morning because it actually makes him wake up and active.
We also regularly deal with constipation now, haven't gone in 3 days again and it's giving him trouble.
It comes and goes, poor little ones.
Oh, you mentioned zeolite before a suppository, what is that? Greetings -
