Title: 3.5MO - NW not hunger related (I think)
Post by: ENMS on March 26, 2012, 12:28:12 pm

So DS was STTN for about 2 weeks.  Then last week he had a GS and so he woke at random times and we fed him right away.  2 nights ago he STTN and then last night he woke at 2:30, and looked hungry (he always does in the MOTN).  So I fed him but he took only 4 oz. THen this morning he took only 4 OZ as well.

Problem is, at 3.5 month old can I really try to not feed him at a NW? He's still so small, I feel as if I should feed him when he wakes but I don't want to create bad habits.

Also if it was not hunger-related, I'm not sure what the NW was about? What should I do?

Does the NF settle DS back down? I would imagine that he is hungry in the night at this age yes. If he settles back down quickly after a feed then I would stick with that when he wakes for now. If NW are related to other issues then usually the feed will not resettle them. HTHs.

Well, last night he fed and then went back to sleep. So I guess it is hunger related and I'll stick with it.

Thanks!
