Hi all!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. I have a 14 week old, EBF DS who is still not doing much of long stretch in the night. For a few weeks (like 2) he was sleeping 7:30-2:30. He then started waking at 12 so I started a dreamfeed at 10:30. The first night he did 10:30-3:30, but ever since has been waking at 2:30 and then again at 5:30. This mean his longest stretch is 4 hours. I guess my question is whether this is normal and he's just young (and relatively small, only 13lbs) or is the dreamfeed preventing a longer stretch? Last night, I also tried no dreamfeed and he slept 7-12, but then was up at 2 for a paci replug and at 4 to feed again. With a dreamfeed, he's never up for a paci replug, but he sleeps for shorter stretches.
Here's our EASY yesterday (he's stretching out to 3.5 hr feeds) - every day is different whether he'll go 3.5 or 3 hours between feeds, but he's mostly doing 3.5 hrs so i'll give yesterday as an example:
NF: 5:15
Activity/Wakeup: 7:30
E: 8 (wouldn't eat immediately upon waking)
A: 7:30-9
S: 9-11:30
E: 11:30
A: 11:30-1
S: 1-3:30 (with about 20 minutes of shh/pat and paci replug at the 45 minute mark)
E: 3:30
A: 3:30-5
S: 5-5:30 (could not resettle nap)
A: 5:30-6
E: 6
Tried for catnap slept maybe 10 minutes
E: 7
S: 7-12 (no dreamfeed night)
NF: 12
Paci replug 2
NF: 4
Wake 6:45
I guess I don't even know whether this is an EASY problem, a prop problem (although I don't think so) or not enough feeds in the day. I do think he should have a longer stretch in the night...is that wrong?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!!!
