Hi! I am very new to BW. I discovered the book and these forums through a friend. My DD is 10 weeks old and all in all has been doing very well. I decided to give BW a try because I wanted to try to get her to skip her one (usually) NF and I wanted to have set nap times during the day that I could depend on. She naturally fell into a 3-3 1/2 hour EASY with her feeding habits. She is FF and eats 4 oz per feeding. The days have been great - eating, activity for about an hour and 15 mins and sleeping for about 2 hours - repeat. She has been doing this well all week and two nights ago I tried a DF to see if I could get her to sleep thru her usual NF which is usually about 3 or 3:30. During DF 1, she only ate 2 oz and was up at her usual NF time and the rest of the night played out like usual. However, last night was terrible! Put her down to bed at 8:10 and DF at 10:15. She only took 1 oz before she fell into deep sleep again and wouldn't take anymore. I sat there with her for at least 10 mins to see if she would take more. Like every night, she woke at 2:30 but would only eat 2 oz instead of her usual 4 oz. When she fell asleep while eating, laid her back down. She was up again at 2:50, so I figured she was still hungry cause she didn't eat her usual amount. She ate another 1 oz, then fell asleep. Laid her down, she woke up, cried, put in pacifier and sshh/patted her until 3:00. Up again at 3:20, 3:50, 4:30 and 5:00. At 5:00, I tried feeding her again; she took 1oz. Put her back down. She was then up about 3 times between 5 and 7, and I was able to put in the pacifier and pat her. We got up at 7:00 and she only ate 2 1/2 oz. She has always drained her first morning feed. I put her in her swing about 7:30 and she started drifiting off at 8:10. In the morning, she is awake and very alert for at least an hour and almost never goes to sleep in her swing. So, i picked her up and put her in bed.
So, I guess my question is, have I tempted fate? She already had a great routine on her own, am I just being inpatient with wanting her to go without her normal NF? It seems that the DF has completely messed her up. Oh, I also tried to cluster feed her last evening and she wouldn't even eat it. All comments and suggestions are welcome
