6 am feed??

[pjs mom]

So DS has started to sleep much better these days.  He's now 12 weeks, and schedule roughly as follows:

E - 7:30
S - 8:30
E - 10:30
S - 12
E - 1:30
S - 2:30
E - 4/4:30
S - 5/5:30 - short cat nap
E - 6/6:30
A - bath, bedtime routine
7:30 - top up and off to sleep for the night

DF - 10:30/11

The past few nights, he has extended his night waking from around 4 or 5 to around 6.  He is really hungry, but goes right back to sleep after this feed. Problem is we still try to wake him again at 7:30 to start the day on schedule.  7:30 works really well as toddler gets up around then too.  At 7:30 though, DS is not hungry and won't eat. Then his day is thrown off with shorter naps, I think because he wakes hungry before the 3 hour mark. I imagine the 6 am wake up will just extend to 7 am with time, but until then, do I keep waking him at 7:30 and try to get a small feed in?

Hello!

Can you try to offer his less milk? If he has a complete feed he won't be hungry for 3 hours, in other words at 9am. However if you can give him just enough to tide him over until 7:30-8 then you can get both kids up and going at the same time.

Sounds to me like you're doing great!!

I'll try feeding him less at 6 - I don't want to make him mad though because I need that extra hour of sleep!!

Thanks for the responses and support!  It's been a bit of a battle this time around, but everything seems to be coming together.  Of course, we all know how quickly things can change...

Sweetie, he won't be mad, he doesn't even know you want to sleep for another hour 

[keeps me guessing]

I/m havimg a similar problem and posted elsewhere but my DD wakes up 3 to 3 and a half hours after her night feed and will only eat 2 oz never a full feed. I'm confused because its been over three hours.
