Hi,my baby has turned 5 months 3 days ago and since then he has decreased the frequency and amount of breastmilk. Earlier he was taking little formula which he has stopped. So my worry is has this happen to anyone of your's bub. Will this effect anything milestone wise?

Should i be worried ? Also he is not sleeping well and waking every hour at night.

Please let me know your inputs on this.

I can’t advise you directly as I’m still pregnant but if you feel that there is something wrong, can you take him to the GP for a check-up and discuss your concerns?

Hope you got in touch with your GP and problem resolved Make sure you are feeding yourself and drinking plenty of fluids and not doing too much [ make sure getting enough rest ] These points are important while breast feeding

Look after yourself

hi. I’m sure you’ve got this resolved but can you phone the health visitor advice line? I’m sure they can support (if you’re Uk based obvs). x

Hi. Have you tried some formula milk at night, and are you eating a good balanced diet to build your breastmilk up. Good luck. Diane
