Hello,
My 3 month old girl has been doing great on EASY, but recently started to wake up for extra feeds during the night. She now wakes up at 1, 4, 6, 7.30 (morning). She used to be able to sleep calmly from 7/8 pm to 4 am without dreamfeed. I suspect growth spurt. This has been going on for 3 nights now.
I have tried to give her more in the day, but she doesn't take it.. She is breastfed and I have been giving her extra from a bottle (pumped milk). She does take a lot of extra milk at BT, though, so bottle not the problem.
I have also just reintroduced the dreamfeed, as earlier she barely took a sip.. Now she takes between 0.25- 0.8 dl. She has a lot of milk at BT (7.30).
She was born 54 cm and 3.8 kg. And has continued quite big.
I don't know what I should do when she wakes up during the night.. Feed or not or feed a little? Last night I tried to give the dummy instead of feeding; she spits it out and does the hunger "cough-cry" for about 15 min and then starts screaming louder.. I then fed her, but removed her halfway from the breast - she would go back to sleep, but wake up again (3-1,5 hours) later..
Our day time routine looks like this:
7.30 E (wake up)
9 S
11 E
12.30 S
2.30 E
3.30 S
5.30 pm E
7 bath + E
7.30 S
11 E dreamfeed (just introduced)
She sometimes naps shorter for the 3rd nap. She goes down easily and is an independent sleeper, but sometimes I help her replace the dummy during naps, never during the night. I occasionally have to wake her up from a nap if it goes over the feeding time..
