My LO has woken for the second day in a row at 5:00 in the morning. He is cheerful and happy but I am not.
Both mornings I've hoped that it was just a NW for a feed and that perhaps there's a growth spurt, so I've fed him, but he has done it again this morning at exactly the same time. He is happy and chatty but AWAKE!!
Some details:
My Lo is a bad napper. He has between 2 and 3 hours of sleep all up each day in 35 min naps and sometimes one longer nap. He was waking somewhere between 6 and 7 and going down for the night somewhere between 7 and 7:30. He is hard to get down for the night and usually wakes 35 mins later which I treat as a night feed and he goes back down (usually). Last night he didn't and I had to do sh/pat from 8:00 until 8:30 after feeding him at 7:45. (His last feed had been at 5:00 due to EW). I always do his dream feed between 10 and 10:30. I'm not getting to sleep until 11:00-11:30, am doing a NF anywhere between 1:30 and 4:00. I was getting maybe 6 - 6.5 hours sleep with him waking generally around 6:30 but now I've lost about 1.5 hours of that and it 4.5 to 5 hours sleep. I can't function on this!!!
He is on 4 hour EASY and always has a NF. He has STTN only 3 times and never without a feed at around 5pm.
What could this be? He is happy and cheerful but really has only had 8.5 hours sleep last night.
Please can anyone help me?
