our lo is 4 mts old in a few days...its impossible to feed him every 3 hours he eats every 3.5 to 3.75 hours making it really really hard to fit in a 5th feeding the last or second to the last feed of the day he doesnt take full but he still has 1 NW since about 8 weeks old it is ok to move to further feeds 3.5 or 3.75 and still not sttn?
we have 2 long naps (almost 2 hours) and 1 cat nap --a 13 hour day and 2 hour A times...we dont dreamfeed as it really gets in the way of his feeding in the day he will eat even less and DF he still wakes since I think our NW is habitual but he eats and goes right back to sleep.
ok for me to stop stressing and cram a last feed in or not sweat it if it not 5 or 6 oz--he is BF and gets expressed BM the second half of the day so I can really see his intake---our routine below
awake 630 or 7
eat 7
sleep 9-1030
eat 1030/1040
sleep 1230-215
eat 215 5-6 oz
sleep 430-530 have to wake
eat 530/6--start as a cluster feed here 5 oz sometimes not hungry here and will eat a full feed at 715 but that means we will be loosing a feed
eat 745--3 oz top on used to take a full feed
eat between 3-4am
start over
