MY 5 1/2 month old is on the 4 hour routine, gets a bottle between 6:30/7:00pm bed at 7:30 but is waking 10 minutes before the normal dream feed. We adjusted the dream feed to 10:30 instead of 11 because we rather go to bed earlier. He has started to wake up every night 10-20 minutes before the dream feed crying and seems to be very hungry. Should we PU/PD to 10:30 or just feed him earlier? I'm afraid his wakings will get earlier and earlier. Also it really not a dream feed when he is awake is it? Why is he waking in anticipation of the feed? We are following the sample 4 hour routine in the book. His afternoon naps have been increasing to 1hr 45min lately. Should we reduce the last nap?
thanks,
Erich
