While I do realize it's normal for him to wake up in the middle of the night. I'm still pretty sure he's waking up out of habit and that he doesn't need to be waking up then. I follow his cues during the day, and because of that I've seen him stay awake for 2.5-3 hours during the day, and then nap for 2 hours. Yes, that's abnormal - but he doesn't yawn, or indicate he's tired until then, and I don't put him down until he asks to go down. I know that he can go 5 hours without eating, he just doesn't at night. He wakes up every night at 3:30. We are not on a 7-7 schedule, we are on a 9:00 schedule, so our dream feed is at midnight, not 10:00. He falls back to sleep at 12:30, and wakes up within minutes of 3:30 every night. Most often at 3:30, he doesn't take a full feeding. He only eats for 5 mins and falls back asleep. Occasionally he'll take a full feed, but not often. Because he only eats a little bit at 3:30, he's up again at 5:30 to eat instead of 6:30. He'll take a full feed at 5:30 or six, and fall back asleep at 6:30 until 8. Then at 8 he's had enough sleep for the day, but, he's not really hungry for his am feed b/c it's only been 2 hours since he last ate. My problem is that I just don't know how to go about getting rid of that 3:30 feed. He's too young for PU/PD, and because it's at 3:30, I really don't want to try Wake to Sleep because then I need to be up at 2:30. Is there anything else I can do to help him sleep through that 3:30 mark and start waking up when he's hungry instead?
