Hey Stacy, remember we were talking about how I thought I wanted to do pu/pd? Well, I figured if it ain't broke don't fix it. My ds goes down so easy after his bedtime routine that I am not even going to think about pu/pd until absolutely necessary. I mean, ds knows that after his bath and lotion massage it is time for bed. If I try to do anything else like lay him down for a minute to go do something or go to a different part of the house, he starts getting fussy. All I have to do is give him his paci and swaddle him and he starts to relax. Again, I do take the paci out before he goes to sleep and I just pat/sssh him to keep him calm. Works like a charm.
Anyway, back to this post. After last night, I really had a feeling he was hungry. But the only time I don't think he wasn't, was when he woke at 12:30am. He had a dreamfeed at 10:15p. But when he woke at 2:30 and 4:30am, I was thinking this morning he may have been hungry.
During the day he is taking around 6 ounces every 4 hours, so in total consuming 30oz with 5 feeds (that includes dreamfeed). I offered him 7 tonight at his 7p feed and he drank it all. Do you think that 30oz is enough for him? He is 17lbs or more.
I dreamfeed every night especially since we have moved to 4 hour EASY.
Let me know what you think.
