I am changing the subject line to nights...the days seem to be normal now we are loosing the 4th nap she is just too awake close to bedtime, we have moved up bedtime but now we are getting an 11pm waking seemingly developmental but she is swaddled in the wombie. she isnt rolling but LOVES her fingers during active time. now that she found her fingers could her NWs be related to her wanting to suck her hands?
I go back to work in 2 weeks and am desperate now for these nights are turning into newborn nights last night up at 11 waited to 11:15 didnt resettle offered breast didnt eat long, back down til 130 offered pacy (although we dont use this much) she woke at 230 offered pacy again woke at 3 I fed at 3 she woke at 6am...we moved to 3/5 hour EASY during the day for every feed except last feed is a cluster and she is fine with that since it seems days have improved with 2 1.5 hour naps and 1 45 min nap no end of day cat nap.
times like these i want to give up breastfeeding, end up cursing everyone from god to the baby whisperer etc...she is 3.5 months and the sleep is just getting worse and not better and work is around the corner ....this is my 3 child of which i have followed all BW advice.
i do not dreamfeed she is such a messy bottle feeder dribbling and snorting and loosing 1/2 oz every feed that i would hate to have her go through that and be woken up from it.
what to do?
active times are about 1 hour 45 mins, in the day she is a pleasure happy, plays , rarely fussy or unbearable, goes down for naps easy independently so what gives with her nights???
