AnonymousMyles was the same way before his Prevacid dose was high enough. He would only drink more than an ounce or two if he was sleepy.
I really don’t know whether it’s bad or not bad to sleep feed but keep in mind that as she gets older she is going to be sleepy fewer times each day, so you will have fewer opportunities to feed her if that’s the only time she’ll eat. It’s great that she’s taking solids well!
Myles ended up giving up the bottle completely at 7 months of age (except for his one bedtime bottle…..he wouldn’t even take a bottle before his naps anymore). So, he’s been primarily spoon fed since then and he’s done fine. I added lots of breast milk or formula to his foods and even spoon fed him breast milk to keep him hydrated and give him the fats and other nutrients that he needed.
I hope the increase in Prevacid helps. How much are you increasing it to?
