Any advice? 3 night feedings for my DS
« on: June 21, 2012, 18:11:08 pm »
Hi Everyone!
My DS (6 months) eats 7xday approx. 4oz. of expressed milk each. (28 oz. total...depends on how much I can express/my hormone levels)

He's still waking erratically 3 times a night. I'm exhausted! I'm wondering if PU/PD is effective for some feeds and not all feeds? Do I keep up with the night feedings? Try PU/PD with some of the later wakeups (4-5am)? He really does seem hungry for most feeds, however, there are times when he gets up around 5 and then when he wakes he's not really hungry for his 7:30 first feed. (I know I should increase his daytime ounces if I want him to sleep more, but I'm barely pumping enough for each feed. I've tried!)

I'm so tired I can't think straight. I'd appreciate any help from those of you who can see a possible solution.

(Not sure if it changes anything, but he's Touchy/Spirited, we're starting solids soon, and he is teething. He's not easy to get settled once he's riled up. It's kind of impossible :) )
