Hi there,
I managed to transition my 4.5 month old to a 4 hr EASY a couple of weeks ago. I have found that he is never very interested in his first 2 feeds of the day. I thought this was down to him still having 2 night feeds (we don't dream feed) but he has recently dropped one of the night feeds and this has not changed things. It seems as if he would happily go longer than 4hrs in the morning but as the day progresses he appears to want to cluster feed. At present we are doing a 7, 11, 3, 6:30 pattern but to be honest I'm lucky if he makes it to 3pm without starting to grissle and we have a really fussy period when he wakes up from his cat nap (5:30) until his last bottle at 6:30. So my question is...... is it okay to change his EASY slightly so that he has a feed at 2:30, 4:30, 6:30 or should I be sticking to a 4 hourly routine?? Also, is this something other people have struggled with, is this common? At what age do they usually stop wanting to cluster feed?
Thanks!
