My DD only eats for a maximum of 15 mins at each feed. She has been able to sustain herself during the early day for 4 hour interval feeds, however as the day progresses, we get down to 2 hours and at night there is no set pattern. One night she will go 4 - 4.5 hours, followed by a three hour stretch and then the next night we are up from 11pm to either 2 or 4 am in a constant battle of eating and gas fits.
Two questions.
1) Is is possible that she is really getting enough to eat with a single side feeding of only 15 mins? (I read that it can be up to 40 mins for this age)
2) We are trying to establish a firm 3 hour easy schedule with cluster and dream feeds to hopefully add some structure to our nights. However I am concerned that she will begin to eat for even less if I now move her to every 3 hours. Need advice.
Thanks,
Stephanie
