Hi, my daughter is waking up almost every three hours at night to eat. She has a bottle at 7:00 and a DreamFeed at around 10:45 before I go to sleep (which is the longest she will go w/o eating). She will wake around 1:45-2:00 and then again around 4:40 then wake for the day at around 6:15. I have tried holding her off with a pacifier but she will scream and scream and then eat 4 ounces. During the day she eats every 3-4 hours and takes about 3 1/2 ounces. I find it strange that at night she will take 4 ounces so easily when during the day she wont take the 4 ounces. I really thought by this age she would be going longer at night!! I just dont know if I should try something different or just let things be.

Any suggestions??? There was a point about a month or so ago that she did sleep 5 hours at a time but then something just changed and shes been like this ever since.

Thanks..any advice would be welcomed.

At around 4 months a lo goes through quite a big growth spurt, do you think that your lo could be going through this growth spurt? 

What size teat are you using for your lo?

Can you post what your daily routine looks like so that we can have a look?

E - how much
A - how long
S - how long.
