so we are just starting and it seems like the past few days we have had to go somewhere every afternoon which doesn't help. he goes down and sleeps fine in his bassinet at night, wakes every two hours to eat and goes right back to sleep. occasionally he wakes after an hour with gas and i burp him and he goes back to sleep. this morning we got up, he ate (typically eats for 10-20 min. i have fast let down so it doesn't take long). Then we had activity time for about an hour and fifteen minutes. the problem is by the time he goes down for a nap it has been an hour and a half or so and he is going to want to eat again. he slept for 45 minutes, ate and then fell asleep on me again. How do I extend time between feeding? He seems genuinely hungry at two hours. we have had trouble with gas so sometimes it is hard to tell when he is really done eating because when his tummy hurts he wants to eat more for comfort which makes it worse. Anyone have thoughts in this? At 8 weeks and 13 pounds he should be able to go longer at night (he slept 4 hours one time after getting way overtired one day) but I don't know how to get there....
