Baby all of a sudden waking at night
« on: November 02, 2007, 13:04:32 pm »
My DD is almost 5 months old.  She was sleeping from 8pm to 6am with a dream feed at 10:30pm.  I changed her to four hour easy but the problem is she didn't take more ounces at each feeding which I assumed she would if offered.  She still takes the same amount as she did on 3 hour EASY, 6 ounces.  She will take a full 6 ounces at her dream feed too.  She weighs about 13lbs so in the 50th percentile.  She started waking at 2am 3 nights ago starvig so I assumed it was a growth spurt cuz she would polish off almost the entire bottle at that time and then wake up again around 5 or 6 and once again almost polish off a 6 ounce bottle.  Last night she woke again at 2am but this time was not really hungry, only had an ounce.  It took me an hour to put her to sleep cuz she was wide awake.  SHe then woke up at 7am.
I don't understand how you can go from 7 to 7 if baby wakes at 5 or 6 to feed and wants to sleep more.  I don't know why all of a sudden she is waking up at night when she used to sleep at least 8 to 10 hours in a row.  She is not a big napper, only naps about 45 minutes to an hour and is happy happy after her nap and I read you aren't supposed to use PU/PD on a happy baby.  Help!
