Hi everyone,
My 2month old has been on the e.a.s.y. On page 25 since 4 weeks old. At first the night wakings were about  two, one at 3am and other at 5:30am. I feed her when she wakes up, and she eats the majority of the time, other times spends only a little while at the breast as if she is putting herself back to sleep. Lately, she started waking up almost every hour starting at 1:30am. She is usually awake at 6am and I usually feed her at 6:30am, because she doesn't stop crying until I pick her up.  I do the 6pm and 8 pm cluster feeds and the 11pm dream feed, and expected that she would do long stretches through the night, but she doesn't.
She was born with 8lbs, and is now 11 lbs, I'm not sure if I should keep feeding her through the night.
This is becoming hard to figure out, racially when I have a 4 year old son that is up at 7 am, and I have to get him ready to school.
She is a very sleepy baby and tends to want to sleep right after she is done nursing, but I sure keep her awake. Her naps during the day vary from 1 1/2 hours to 30-45 min when she is gassy or reflux is bothering her a lot but I try to follow the 4 week routine as much as I can.

Please share ideas and opinions on what I can do better... I need my nights back.

Thanks

Waking every hour at night is usually from discomfort.

Is she on any medications to control her reflux?

I see you're breastfeeding her - are you engorged at her 1:30ish feed? If so, she may be gulping to take in the larger volume of milk and swallowing air down causing gas pain. Do you think that could be an issue?

Its quite normal for her to be needing three feeds overnight at this age and one or two feeds for a good long while to come. "Sleeping through" is actually defined as sleeping for a five hour stretch, not twelve as we are often led to believe.
