hey i was wondering if anybody has some advice-experience, my ds is now 4mths and weighs 16lbs. me and my dh have been trying to get him to sleep through the night. he normally wakes at 2am and 4am and then again at 5am ready to start his day, my dh now wakes up with him at 2 and at 4am and i wake up at 5am and feed him (he is ebf). when i used to feed him at 4am he didn't really take alot and even at 5am he only feeds from one breast for about 10mins. i was just wondering if this is too much to expect from one so little, would anybody recommend feeding at 4am and trying to get him back to sleep. at 5am he is so awake and none of my attempts at getting him to sleep again seem to work.
his day is something like this-
E5am (try to get him to sleep again, but to no avail)
A5.30 (nappy change , toys etc)
E6am
S7am (normally about 45mins)
A8am (nappy change, toys
E9am (both breasts)
A 9.30am
S11am (normally 1.5hrs)
E1pm (both breasts)
A1.30pm
S3pm (another long nap)
E5pm (both breasts)
A5.40pm
S (we are trying to get a catnap in about 5.45pm but hasn't as of yet)
6.30 bedtime routrine, bath, massage, pj's, singing, bf on both breasts.
S7.30ish
DF about 10.30 (most times on both breast again)
2am awake, normally take daddy 30mins to resettle
4am same again 30mins to resettle
5am good morning!!
