Hi! Firstly want to say thank you for the wealth of info on this forum, it's helped us no end get through some tricky sleep issues.
Based on advice and FAQ's I've come across here, I have put my 6mth old on a new nap schedule and she's starting to get the hang of it, but I'm unsure what to do about feeds. She still wakes a lot in the night, and other than when teething etc I'm pretty sure it's hunger as I dreamfed her 3 times one night and she didn't wake at all.
Before changing the schedule I fed almost every 3 hours after waking from naps, but now if I feed just after waking the gaps are too long I think..? So while trying to work it out I've been feeding on demand but I think this has led to snacking every 2 hours, and actually taking on less calories.
We're introducing solids, but I don't think she's taking enough in to effect her milk intake yet.
I want to be able to work towards cutting out one or two of her night feed's (she eats approx every 2 hours at night
![Embarrassed :-[](https://smiley.babywhispererforums.com/Smileys/classic/embarrassed.gif)
) but really would be happier doing this once I know she can get enough in the day.
Husband thinks, cut the night feeds and she'll have to eat more in the day.. is he right?
One last thing, she's a pretty big baby- over 97% in height and in the 80's for weight and breastfed if that makes any difference.
So current nap/day looks like:
Wake 5.30-6.30 (ugh!)
Nap 8.30/9-10.30/11 depending on what time she woke and how tired she is
Nap 1.30-3.30 depending on what time she woke from nap 1
Bed 7/7.30
Hoping someone will be able to give me a bit of guidance as what I should be doing! Thank You, L
