2018-08-10 00:33:30
5 month old daughter is experiencing weight loss when staying with biological father for court ordered overnights and weekends. She is now waking frequently at night and early in the morning when she was previously sleeping well and 10 hours straight at night.I was the primary care giver for her sence birth. She was 14 pds before visitation with him began and she losses a pound to 2 pounds every weekend with him and regains it after being in my care for a week. Is this seperation anxiety?

Well,this age is too young for separation anxiety,but babies differ in behavior. I think it's related more to proper feeding rather than anything else. Check for feeding pattern while away from you.
