Increasing feeds for 6wk growth spurt
« on: June 06, 2011, 19:46:12 pm »
DD2 (6wks) is waking more frequently during the night (2-3hrs) so I'm assuming it's a growth spurt.  I read somewhere that I should change my 3hr EASY to be a 2.5th EASY to increase her calorie intake during the day, but how do I do this? Wake her 30mins early from her nap? That seems mean!

Yeah, I think we're over it now thanks! I just fed her whenever she wanted, she slept for 4.5hrs last night, so I feel like a new woman after 4hrs sleep :-) fx she does it again tonight!
