My little one is 3.5 months old and doing incredibly well on a 3 hour routine. I know "if its not broken don't fix it" but I am also well aware that a 4 hour routine is strongly recommended by 4 months of age. My little girl was born on her due date and was/is a average to large baby.
I am finding that she isn't as motivated to eat at 3 hours anymore but still cannot stay awake longer than an hour and fifteen minutes. How would you address this? Should I continue feeding her every 3 hours until she naturally extends her wake time, or should I be pushing her to stay awake a little longer?
I have heard that at about 4-5 months babies tend to naturally extend their own wake times, have you found this to be true? Maybe it is just a little too early and I will have more luck switching a few weeks from now? What should I do about the feeds until then? Thanks for your advice.
