    hi guys
    My son is 6 month and 2 weeks old. I breastfeed him and since the last 2 weeks he keeps waking every 2 hours for a feed! During the day I feed him about every 3 hours.
    I thought he was teething (which he might be) because he bites onto everything very hard and seems to be annoyed by it. He also just has learned to crawl, to sit and to stand up within the last few weeks! He also makes sounds like he is comunicating with us. (makes a noise, waits for your reply and so on) And we have started on solids (he is not really eating yet..)

    So I don't know what it is that makes him wake up so much and wants a full feed every time ??? Can it be because of his fast development at the moment? /growths spirt?
    I also have to go to a quiet room for feeds during the day because he gets very distracted by EVERYTHING that happens around him!
    I am tired now :/ feels kind of like back to the start.. :o

    what do you guys think?

    He could be just hungry. Are you planning on increasing solids? Teething probably won't help

    well the problem is that he is not that gone on solids yet.. he gags a lot or he closes his mouth and doesn't want more.. he eats a few baby spoons and is hen finished.. and he seems to be disgusted by everything new but after a while he eats a few spoons. except of banana he seems to hate it and after the second morning of it he rejected any spoon no matter what was on it. I gave him some baby porridge today which he seemed to actually like... otherwise I would definitely give him more if I could :/

    he got 2 teeth out last week. but is still sleeping as bad. As mentioned above he is not gone on solids, only on the bedtime cereal. But I will try to led him feed himself now and see how that goes. I heard it could be comfort feeding during the night?
    It feels like I am back to when he was newborn :(
