preemie schedule ??

[dipali23]

Hi all,

any advise is welcome! i just had a preemie and he is 3 1/2 months old actual and 1 month adjusted.
I have him on and so far the schedule has been: between feeds he gets a diaper change and usually naps and if not is on swing or gym mat and comfortable

e 715am
e 1030am
e 145pm
e 445
e 745pm
dream feed at 11pm

he wakes at 3am-4am i give him paci ... he is okay for about an hour but then either 4am or 5am i will feed him.
Not to be picky but how can I tweak his schedule so he wakes between 5 and 6 am?


Thanks!

sorry for the late reply, the site was down for a while!

i suspect if he is waking again an hour after having paci that he is actually hungry on that first waking. have you tried just feeding him then and putting him straight back down (that way you would only have to get up once rather for the dummy and the feed IYKWIM). he is still quite young and i dont think routine tweaking will get him waking later for that feed, he will gradually start to wake later and later when he is ready. your routine looks great by the way
