Almost 4 month old up every 21\2 to 3 hours

I know formual isn't the answer, (I wish ) if it was he'd sleep better after the one bottle at bed time.  I only do the bed time bottle as a bit of a break for me and for times that we go out so he'll take a bottle from someone else.
Things are getting worse again   he's back to every 2 hour wakings at night.  He goes down at 8 then up at 10 (maybe 11 if I'm lucky) 1, 3 and 5 and now he's up at 630 for the day.  And my 3 year old has been waking up earlier as well so I'm pretty exhausted right now. I've been trying to soothe him when he wakes but he'll just cry until I feed him.  He seems to eat pretty well and then falls right to sleep again.  Last night my huband went in at 10 and helped soothe him back to sleep and then he slept until 1 so I know he can go longer without a feed.  If I am going in too soon how long do I leave him whinning until I go in, if I wait he's start really crying.  I feel like I'm letting him CIO if I leave him in there and don't go to him.

((HUGS)) I would only go if it is a real cry and not him trying to settle.  KWIM?  If he is settling better for your DH, send him in more.  Maybe he is associating you with feeding to sleep.

How are your days now?
