What's going on?
« on: April 02, 2013, 09:07:19 am »
We've been in a really good routine from day 1 Dom settling himself with a dummy getting 1-2 hour naps approx 5.5 hrs day and was having dream feed between 22.30 and 11 and going till 4 or 5 from bout 6 weeks occasionally 7. Then over a week ago around 3 month mark started waking 2-3 hourky overnight. Immediately thought growth spurt so started offering both sides at each feed and tried extra cluster feed bout 9 which worked once but then wouldn't take it. He's had a bit if a cold as well but is waking up to 10 x a night not feeding long on day but with feed for up to 30 mins at night last 2 nights he's woke at 12.30 and he's gone bk to sleep till 2 with dummy. I'm pretty sure it's not a supply issue as I can express 5 oz from 1 side any ideas? He on 3 hourly easy

It is common for LOs who have previously slept through to start waking again around 3-4mo. They come out of the sleepy baby phase and cycle in and out of deep and light sleep more regularly.

Do you think the dummy could have become a prop and he is waking looking for it?

How much sleep is he getting in the day? 5.5hrs may be too much for him and he is UT.

Could the cold be making feeding difficult in the day and he is more relaxed at night perhaps?
