Thanks for the info Laura...we have her at 4oz because her we were taking her to the dr for her spitting up, i thought she had reflux..but the dr said we were overfeeding her and normal babies are 4months when they start taking 4oz, so originally we dropped down to 3 but i felt too bad because everytime we were done she would start crying for more. she still spits up some but not as bad she was.
as far as the pacifier for naps- like i said, she is a 45minute napper...its the only thing that gets her to sleep longer..i have tried everything (except pu/pd because she was too young) and the paci was the only thing that worked. unfortunately, after the 45minutes, she never goes back into that deep sleep so she never completely settles. now i am totally confused, i dont know if she is hungry and squirming or if they are just the jolts. when she drops the paci, she can find it herself and somewhat calms down...i dont think she fully wakes up and starts jolting, or so i think they are jolts.
since doing the 3-hour EASY and trying to extend her naps with the paci- i feel like she has given up on showing us signs of hunger. I started doing what the book and what other peoples advice was, after she wakes up from her nap (pretty much me just leaving her in her crib until 1 1/2hrs, even if after she wakes after 45minutes and is squirming or what seems to be the jolts for the rest of the time) i feed her so she doesnt really have to show me signs. im almost to point of giving up and getting her up after she wakes up from her 45minutes and feeding her when she shows signs because now i feel like that stupid pacifier is making her feel like we are telling her to shut up and she will be fed when i want her to be fed. its making me really sad that i cant tell what her cues are anymore since ive been so pushy with extending her naptimes
