My LO is six weeks old and for the past several weeks he's been waking at approx. 3:00 AM for a feeding, and then at approx 6-6:30 AM. The strange thing is that he will wake at 3 no matter what time he goes to bed (he usually goes down at 9, but sometimes not until 11, if we are out for the evening or something) or whether or not he has a dreamfeed. It's always 3. I was hoping that later dreamfeeds would extend his sleeping time, but so far they haven't - although admittedly I haven't been doing them consistently yet. Any ideas?
My routine is generally 3 hours EASY, with activity times usually being about 1 -2 hours (including the feeding) and cluster feedings every two hours starting around 4. His day usually "begins" between 8 and 9 AM. His naptimes mess up the EASY schedule on occasion, because sometimes he wakes up early so we have another activity time before his feeding. We're working on extending his naps.
