Should I wake my 1 mo old?
« on: October 30, 2011, 13:20:20 pm »
My LO is on 3 hr EASY and sometimes sleeps longer than his next feed.  IE today, E at 6:07 am ans he is still alseep at 9:20. Should I wake him for his next feed or let him sleep?

If it were me, I'd let him sleep. At this age its still go with the flow territory - you can keep the order of EAS but you don't need to watch the clock too much. The only thing you have to be careful of is making sure his long stretch of sleep happens at night so he doesn't reverse cycle...

I probably wouldn't let him go past 3.5-4hr between feeds during the day though.

I agree - let him sleep.  But not longer than 3.5 - 4 hrs between feeds :)
