My DD just turned 4 months today, we were doing EASY as in following the lettered routine but our timings were way off. She has been BF on demand about every 2 hours. She is an efficient feeder at about a month could take 4 oz in 10mins (threw up a lot of it )
She was sleeping through the night until 26th Nov (almost 3months) when she woke up talking to her self, eventually started crying and needed nursing back to sleep...then it became every night around 430am (this was all with a 10pm dream feed) well over the last month it has continued and even got worse...Dream feed at 10 waking at 12/1am then again at 3/4 will nurse back to sleep taking her usual feed times. So after reading I think I missed a growth spurt and now its habit?
SO...I started her on a 3 hour EASY (reading around now I should have probably gone straight to the 4 hour?) However I am doing 3 at the mo with intentions to transition to 4 ASAP
1st night she woke at 1030 after following all 3 hr EASY throughout the day, so I have her the dreamfeed then... then she woke again at 320am...I didn't feed her we did the PU/PD comfort and pat in crib until she finally went to sleep (1hr later) she then woke up at 530am we did the same until she woke up at 605. I figured she was obviously hungry so gave her 5mins and put her back down...WOKE her at 7am to start over today...
Should I feed her in the night or just try and make it through, I think she is genuinely hungry but I know that she can make it, and did at a much younger age?
SOrry for the lengthy post.
