Title: 4 Month Old wakes up 5-10 mins before dreamfeed 4 days in a row!
Post by: Nat16 on August 21, 2010, 06:52:51 am

I introduced the dream feed at 5 weeks and it has been going quite smoothly up until about 4 days ago.  My now 4 month old has woken up 5 days in a row at exactly 10:40 which is approximately 10 minutes before her dream feed.  She is on 4 hours E.A.S.Y right now and has her last feed at approximately 7:15.  She has been on 4 hour E.A.S.Y for approximately 2 weeks.  She has been pretty textbook with her naps as well 9am-11am, 1pm-3pm and 5-540. 
I am not sure why she is all of a sudden waking up at this time.  She cries and my husband holds her while I make her bottle.  She fusses at the beginning of the bottle for a couple minutes, settles down by the middle and is asleep by the end, so its not a huge problem.  I just don't want to her to form a habit of this because she has never done it before.  Any suggestions on what to do?

Hi there, could she be in a growth spurt?  Try more feeds in the day if she's in a growth spurt to compensate.
