DD not feeding till between 10:00am-11:00am after NF

My LO will not take a feed in the morning until between 10:00am-11:00am.

1. DF at 10:30/11:00
2. 1st night feed 1:30/2:00
3. 2nd night feed 3:30/4:00

I have tried reducing the 2 night feeds so she is more hungry in the morning. Should I keep the 1st night feed a full feed and see if that keeps her through till 7am?

DD is 15 weeks old today.

How much are you currently giving her at the feeds?

At 15 weeks she should be able to go at least 3 hours between feeds really - if you aren't doing a full feed at the first nightfeed then make sure it's a full one and hopefully she won't wake for the next.

Have you tried to resettle if it's less than 4 hours between feeds?

A normal full feed is 210mls/7oz

DF: whatever she will drink out of the 210mls
1st feed: 120mls/4oz
2nd feed: 90mls/3oz

Looking at this in writing I can already see where we've gone wrong... Doh! She can easily go 4 hours during the day! Can I blame sleep deprivation? My husband? lol

Will post back tomorrow after tonight to let everyone know how I go!

Thank you!

I always find blaming the husband to be the best course of action

Let us know how you get on!
