I am distraught to think we were not feeding our hungry baby each of those times and it turns out then that the advice in the book is wrong?
I don't have the book with me so I can look up exactly what you mean. I think there is a confusion about the term "sleeping through the night" because that means something different in different ages, yk?
Motherhood comes with guilt, there is no way around it

I don't know which book you have, but I had the first one and in the PU/PD chapter there is no mention what so ever in what age it's appropriate to use the method. I used PU/PD with a newborn! Can you imagine how guilty I still feel?
I've been extending the A times and she still wakes up from naps after 35/40 mins. If it's less than 3 hours since her last feed then we try to extend with PUPD but it is gruelling because it just doesn't seem to improve.
I have read back on your thread and I actually gave you a wrong advice before

sorry. I said that she should still be one 2 full naps (1.5-2h each) and another CN, but I actually think considering her age that she is going through the 3-2 transition:
All about the 3-2 transition- 5/6 months and it's really typical that there is a big jump of A times at this age but baby seems to not manage more than what he/she is already doing. So like I said before the only way to increase the A times is slowly and gradually to prevent OT, but if she can't manage close to 3h A time yet then you should keep on stretching A times and eventually dropping the CN, which you can do when the A times are higher.
If it's less than 3 hours since her last feed then we try to extend with PUPD but it is gruelling because it just doesn't seem to improve.
I never managed to extend a nap so I just dropped it. It put a huge stress on me to try and extend and we had an EASY like this: EASAE. Sometimes DS didn't manage the whole 3h without a feed so we fed a bit early. Your EASY shouldn't be rigid, yk? Listen and look at what he NEEDS.
we put her to bed at 6.30. She had DF at 11 and then woke at 3 but kept herself amused until 3.40 when I fed her . And then she woke at 6.45 hungry.
So it seems that she is not getting enough food in the day do you think?
She had 2 NF? Why is that an indication she is not getting enough food during the day? It's a great night! You DF before you go to bed and then you only need to wake up once to feed? Sounds like heaven to me!
