Hi - my lo is 4.5 months now. she started taking a dream feed at 2.5 months. I use ebm for the dreamfeed and up until now she would eat and stay asleep then go back to bed for the night - all the way till 7am. now she is waking during the dreamfeed. esp when the bottle is just about empty. I even had to offer her the breast the other night. we had to go through the burp and calm down phase as she got her self worked up. our lights are off and things are quiet. yet... there she pops her eyes open and sadly it stresses me out. to top it all off she is also waking at night now too... she woke at 1am and 4am and 5, 5:30 and 6. I did not feed her. I let her resettle herself at 1. Had to go in at 4 as she was really crying versus just making her 'hey mom' calls. my dh popped the soother in her mouth at the other times.
our schedule looks like this ... it is my attempt at a 3.5 hour. I am struggling with increasing her A time in order to get to a 4 hour.
