Hello BW mums... I know this can be a common problem and I feel like I should know what to do - but need some reassurance please!
My LO who is 12 weeks has consistently been waking at around 2.30am and then 5.45am for several weeks (pretty normal stuff I know). She has a DF at 11pm and is now (at last) taking 4oz - but she still wakes at the same time (i thought when she eventually took more at her DF she would sleep longer but no) - at night she always wakes around 3.5 hrs after the last feed. The longest stretch she goes is after the final - pre and post bath feed (6pm and 6.45 ish) - and then goes right through until the DF at 11pm.
She is always hungry for her 2 x NFs - and I am trying to push back the 5.45am waking each morning - this morning I got her to 5.55am for example. But she gets very upset after about 10 mins of shhing her. The main problem is that she is not hungry at 7 or 7.30 or today even 7.50am was a struggle and I can see this becoming a problem...
So the question is - should I in fact be trying to push back the 2.30am feed so the 5.30am feed gets closer to 7am? And at 12 weeks what is the best way? Is she too young to do PUPD and especially as she does seem hungry for that feed.
I try very hard to have her on a 3 hr EASY - sometimes though if the sleeps are wonky it might only be 2.5 hrs. Her A time is about 1 hr 20- 1.5.
She is EBF and her weight gain is steady.
Thanks for the advice peeps!! Would love to know your thoughts...
