Hi,
My DD is 3.5 months old on a 3.5 hr easy. She is perfect in the day at going down for naps. I actually wake her after 2 hrs from 2 of her naps. The problem arises for bedtime. One of two things happens, she is difficult to get down the first time and takes a couple of tries and/or she wakes after 15 to 30 mins of sleep and can't seem to get herself back to sleep. It usually takes another 45mins to 1hour to get her back down. I have tried patt/shush with little success. Any ideas on what the problem might be? This has been going on since she was 6 weeks old...
Also, I have just started the dream feed again as it didn't work the first try. She takes the feed no problem but then still gets up for a 1am and 4am feed. I have basically just added a feed. Any ideas?
E 8am

S 9:30
E 11:30

S 1:00

How much do you feed her at 1 and 4 a.m.?
I have problem with dream feed as well. My Mi will wake up from her dream feed and then awake for another two hours :-[
Then falls back to sleep and sleep through the night. (11:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m.)
I'm thinking of dropping dream feed and let her sleep until she's hungry.

Hi, I am not sure how much I feed her as I am BF but she seems to eat well most times. There is the odd time that I leave her room thinking I shouldn't not have fed her as she didn't eat much at all.
I have tried to drop the DF to see what happens but now she is waking up before 10pm. I really hope this is a very long growth spurt.

Wow... 10pm? and does DD wake up at 1 and 4 again? Are you getting enough rest?
