Just wanted to send some {{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}

I thought i would just let you know that my lo got much better after the 9 week stage. I think my supply was always trying to catch up with DS.

What are your daytime feeds like? I found that if i feed more in the day the nights were much better.

OK LOOK NOW I MEAN BUSINESS LOL

That sounds like overtiredness.  How is she napping?

Hugs!  What is happening with her naps?  Can you give us an example of what a recent day has looked like for you?

My little one began sleeping through 7 til 7 from about 3 1/2 months and continues to do now, she is nearly 6 months old. She is ebf feeding at 7, 11, 3, 6:30 and df at 10:30. I think it is an individual thing some babies can sleep through very early on, a friend of mine's was sleeping through at 6 weeks (wow) another i know is 10 months and still waking through the night

Good luck, I hope she goes back to sleeping through for you on bm only  :)
