Hello Heidi,
It sounds like you have actually been there
Teeth - for sure. First teeth appeared when he was 3.5 month old and since then we have had a couple really tough days. Growth spurt - a developmental spurt rather. OT - perhaps, OS most definitely. He is very actively trying to crawl, not satisfied with simply laying on his tummy anymore, learning to sit by pulling himself up at every occasion - sure all this keeps his mind buzzing making it hard to sleep.
Yes, must up A time is what I realised past weekend. He was happy with 1:15-1:30 for over a month. Now it's min 1:45, but 2h is a bit of a stretch.
He is a VERY efficient eater, too. Empties a breast in 8 min.
The fact that many babies don't make 4h feed at this age is an unpleasant surprise. How could I know, when it's in the books?! So, i'm torturing the baby and myself when this is not even a common thing
Thank you for telling me! It relieved a lot of pressure! At least his feeds are OK
It might be too early to tell, but his "snaking" might have been an exception to which I overreacted, rather than a new habit. I will observe him today to make sure, but last afternoon and this morning he was doing 3.5-4 h feeds like usual.
Thank you so much for your insight - it brightened my day, it really did!
