Night feeding timings don't work

[Maxdrewe]

New problem now!! My 6 week old is waking in the night for a feed at 2 ish and 5 ish + I dream feed at 10.30. The problem is if he wakes late for his feed at 5 I am then getting him up for a feed at 7.30 to start our day. I am not sure whether to get up later or not feed him if he wakes past a certain time?? This morning his last feed didn't Finish until 6, it then took until 6.15to settle him and we were due to be up at 7.30, what to do or is that ok ifthat is what he needs??

Does he take a feed for you at 7.30am?

Do you HAVE to be up at 7.30am?

My son was very similar at this age and I just went back to sleep when he did after his 5am feed and I started the day 3 hrs after the feed....so around 8am.

By 8ish weeks, the 2am feed was creeping later and later to 3,3.30am so soon enough there was no other NF, just a 7am wake up for the day.

Hope this makes sense and the same happens for you x
