Not interested in the morning

[~Emma~]

DD just wont feed when she wakes. She is still having one NF and has STTN a handful of times but usually wakes at 3-4am. Great I know but not having such a great start to the day otherwise. I struggle to get her to feed for a couple of mins and this is half an hour/an hour after she's up. She then wakes from her nap early starving hungry and the day has gone to pot!

 She just seems so young for me to be cutting back on the NF's just now especially as she is only having one.

 What to do, what to do?

Can you top her up about a half hour before she's due to sleep?  Or will that mess up the feeds for the day?

Some days our EASY is more AEAS AEAS and so on...so the feeds are still fairly well spaced but just not straight after the naps.

God I am so jealous of your nights.  R is still up multiple times.....UGH!

 Trying desperatley to get  feeds sorted during the day. She is just so distractable it unreal, I cant get her to focus on eating one bit. Very frustrating. Thinking my BF days are numbered as I am still having supply issues, you wouldn't think I was as she is doing a good stretch at night but I have very little milk and her pesky feeding ways arent helping! She's dropping centiles.

 Dont be jealous hun. Its swings and roundabouts. Bad days here as she is not the best napper... DS not napping now either....our days are loooooong.

Rosa too.  Went from 25th to 9th at last weigh in.  TBH though am not worried as she's happy and doing all she should be doing (except sleep!).  Leaving it 6 weeks to get her weighed again as I'm sure it'll even out.

Do you think she's become a more efficent feeder?  I remember at 4 months Maeve went from 45 minute feeds to 10 minutes tops and I spent weeks trying to get her to eat more until I read about them being able to get more milk more quickly.  R has always been a mega quick feeder so she can't really cut down much more.

She may well be more efficient. God its just so hard to tell. I give her formula before bed, it started as a wee 3oz top up and she is now guzzling a 6oz bottle as well as a BF.  Its the only time of the day she seems geniunally full, positively bursting! That's why I think she does that long stretch for me.

 I'm not too concerned about the weight either if I'm honest. She just looks like a chunker, nice fat legs! I take the HV with a pinch of salt at all times. I did bring up about the charts being for FF bubs.

 I'll be happy if I can get to 6 months for BF'ing. Anything more is a bonus....plus there will be a big, fat gin and tonic for me at the end of it all!

 ((((hugs))))) Shiv. I hope she sleeps for you soon. Things will even out, this is just such a pesky age for sleeping. I was looking back at posts with B the other day and we were stuck in 45 min nap nightmare. SOme days I wear rose tinted glasses looking back.
