He is already on a 3 hr EASY mostly though not strictly more 2.5 - 3.5hr (more often shorter than longer). I wonder if he is getting enough food in the day - he is not a big feeder. I tried to offer the breast more yesterday so at feed time for as long as he would then try again 10 minutes later and repeat again a few times till he'd take more. He won't always take it - just cries so I calm him and try later.
Last night he fed frequently before bed - 3:10, 5:20, 7:15, 8:30 - didn't settle well for sleep till just before 9, then fed 10pm, 12:44 (I tried to just change his nappy and toilet him - we do elimination communication) but he kept crying through that so I fed him. Then fed at 3:45 (I think his sister woke him with her banging the potty). Awake again at 6:15am andI held him off till 7am by first some patting then bringing him in my bed. So it was better. maybe the main issue is getting him to take bigger feeds in the day? Any tips for this? Is it normal for babies this age to continue feeding their same schedule at night as day ie 3 hourly?
Thanks Hannah
