Baby still feeds very early at 12 weeks

[pinklyn]

Hi there, I'm new to the forum.  I've just been working from the BW books.

I have a question about too-early wake times.  My baby is 12 weeks old.  My baby has been on EASY from about 5 weeks and all of the BW techniques have worked incredibly well, esp 4S and shush-pat. 

My question is.... my baby is on EASY but her times are so different to everyone else I see on the forum.  My baby wakes up and takes a full feed around 5am-5.30am.  I have tried not feeding her and just shush-pat, but that didn't seem to work.  After the feed, I put her straight back to bed and she goes back to sleep, no A time.  In fact, this morning, I fed her at 5.15am and she went straight back to bed, no problems and only woke at about 8.45am.

I feed the baby on a 3 hour routine through the day, her A time is quite short (approx 60-75 mins), she naps well (approx 1.5-2 hours).  She's in bed by 8pm.  DF at 10.30pm-11.  The next time she wakes up is about 5am-5.30am.

She sleeps independently and is very good in general. My question is - should I try changing her times ?  Will it create problems in the future if I don't ? 

Appreciate any help.  Thank you.

My DD did that for the longest time. If the routine works for you then there is no problem with it. As long as LO is content and you are happy with how things are going. Sounds to me like your doing great.
