Hi i have a 2 mo who is getting better at sleeping for long stretches through the night. I know he can go between 6-7 hours without a feed. However the past couple nights he has been waking up more often but I am not sure if I should feed him. The past 2 nights I put him to bed at 8 he woke up at 10:30, 1:30, 3:30, 6:30 and then 8:00 am for the day. The 10:30 and 1:30 I put the paci in and he fell back asleep the 3:30 i assumed was hunger so i fed him and the 6:30 again put the paci in and fell back asleep. I don't know if he is waking up from hunger and I should feed him or are his nw something else. I think it is because he is ot from not good naps during the day but they seem to be at the same time for the past 3-4 days. Any thoughts?

There are tons of growth spurts the first few months, so when they wake at night, you can pretty much assume that hunger is a possibility. That being said, if he goes back to sleep with the paci and then sleeps for 3 more hours before waking up, I wouldn't think that would be a hunger waking (with hunger wakings, LOs are very hard to settle and will keep waking over and over again if you try to use a paci instead of feeding). You may need to do some schedule tweaking and just gently extend your A times a touch in order to get some longer naps out of him.
