Ok I'm so proud of myself for finally getting ride of the night feedings, But some nights Tatum is still waking up and sometimes it takes a while to settle her. I don't think it's hunger anymore because she has slept through without a feed but I still don't understand why she is waking. We used a gentler form of CIO, more like fuss it out as I was always one to rush in at the slightest whimper. Pu/pd does not work for her as it gets her hysterical and pt/sh makes her laugh at me. Sometimes the soother works but like last night she was still crying with the soother in her mouth. She calms down if I stand and stroke her face but is this making me a prop. Just unsure were to go from here. I don't want to start feeding her as I don't think she needs it. She is eating so much better in the day and I think for the last little while the feedings were more of a habit then hunger. Anyone have any suggestions. It's been four nights since she was last feed in the night and on Friday she slept through without waking so I know she can d it. Is it just a matter of time till she gets used to not waking and being feed?
