4:00 Wake, Bottle 6 - 7 oz playtime
She stays up and takes a cat nap from about 6:00 - 6:45
7:00 we have been giving her about 1.5 teaspoons, NOT TABLESPOONS for the last week because she was still acting hungry after recieving 35-40 oz of formula.
7:15 bath
7:30 Bottle
7:45-8:00 bedtime.
She gives NO fuss at bedtime, we put her in her crib wide awake, she talks herself to sleep within 10 minutes every night.
She is on a 3 hour EASY schedule, I'm not sure how to transition to 4 although it would be great!! She gets HUNGRY after 3 hours without a bottle!!
I was very against the cereal also in fact I fought with my mom on the issue for the first four months. Due to her size, and the fact she can sit up almost without support I gave into the idea. We have only been giving the cereal for 8 days, and she does seem more satisfied. The 4 am waking has been going on for atleast 3 months. She used to take a normal bottle, so I figured she was hungry. Now she will drink 2oz of water and go back to sleep, so I am very confused now. We have tried letting her cry, it doesn't stop after 5 minutes. Last night she cried on and off for about 1 hour. At 5am we gave in and gave her the water bottle.
Thank you for any advice!!!
