Thank you for your response.
I'm not sure why he's so hungry. He is teething, and so breast and bottle feeding have been unpredictable lately. Sometimes he will reject the breast and then it's extremely difficult to bottle feed him because he will arch away and just try to gum the nipple. I suppose he isn't getting enough milk during the day because of this and then feeds more often at night?
Last night he was asleep at 735. Woke up at 1:10 to eat (ate a lot and went right back to sleep after) and then woke up at 630 to eat (darn. Wakeup is at 7). So I suppose it was better than other nights...still missing the long stretches, though.
I guess if the schedule seems okay, I will wait it out until this teething stint is finished and he is nursing better during the day. Oh, and with regards to solids, he showed readiness at 5 months and 1 week, so we started him then. He would have a TBSP once a day for a week, then 2 TBSP twoce a day for a week, 3 TBSP three times a day for a week, and is now at 4 TBSP three times a day. We are not going to be increasing it from there. Of course if he doesn't want to keep eating I stop feeding him but he always devours the solids and again, I only offer an hour after nursing. Right now he has 2 oz of cereal, 2 oz of fruit, and 2 oz of vegetables a day.
Let me know if you think I should change anything up.
