Yesterday's EASY

10 nap 1.5Hrs
11.30 feed
2.30 nap after 45mins needs a top up to resettle (nothing else was working
5 feed bath et
6.30 feed to sleep
10.30 woke for feed, fed sleep- one side
1.30 woke for feed, fed to sleep one side (has always only take. One side at night, both for day feeds
4am woke and feed
6am woke and chatting, up for the day

Lo does have low sleep needs and I found she stopped waking two hourly when I transitioned to two sleep

How long was her afternoon nap?
I guess feeding at night became a prop right now and she cannot sleep so only boob is making her sleepy.

Her naps even if both 1.5h seems to be fine, however her day is 11h long. It probably wouldn't be reasonable to expect a night longer than 11/12h especially if both naps were good.

I found waking my lo up if he falls asleep after one side and then offering the other helps. I also brought the last feed earlier so he was hungrier at the df. He now goes from 10pm to 5am without a feed. Hour
Hope that's useful for you.
