Not sure if this is what is going on. I started giving solids to my lo just before 5 months old because she was consuming over 40oz of formula a day. Around the same time is when she started waking at 5am, not crying, just talking/moaning/ complaining. She use to wake around 7am. She also always wakes up with a poopy diaper, I'm assuming she's doing it at 5am. She's always been a spitter upper too. She just turned 6 months old and weighs 22lbs. Was born 9lbs. 9oz. She currently still drinks at least 40oz a day. I feed her every 4hrs during the day and still cluster feed in the evening. She's just now becoming better at actually eating purees. I think she's just now losing her tongue thrust reflex. She'll eat 1oz for breakfast, 2oz for lunch, and 2oz for dinner. I just today realized that earlier this week I skipped her dinner feed in hopes that she wouldn't wake up at 5 to poop and it worked. she woke at 6:30, I'll take it.
Question is what do I do with this knowledge? Do I stop feeding her dinner? For how long? How would this effect her since she is a big baby? Or is this whole thing unlikely? Thanks
