Feeding

While things with sleeping at night are good, one area that can be bit up and down is the feeding. Noah has been a very hungry baby, rapidly gaining weight in the first 3 months and jumping from the 50th centile to the 91st! He has settled down in the last 2 weeks and his weight gain has levelled off thank goodness. At 14 weeks he now weighs 6.7kg (14.12lbs - back to around the 50th centile).

He fed well from the start and most feeds are fine. However, often I find that at least one feed a day results in him screaming. Really, really screaming. He latches on, starts to feed and then pulls off and yells. It's not every feed, or even every day, and very rarely at night. I think it usually occurs when I misread the signs and feed him before he is really ready and at other times when he gulps down without breathing enough! I'm pretty sure it is some kind of disgestion/wind/discomfort issue.

He possets after most feeds, something Freyja and Theo never did, and he needs more winding than they did. I never used to wind them, but Noah burps like a trucker.

He is also a bit of a biter...
