Hello there!
I've been looking for advice on how to extend my baby's night sleeping. He's 7w today, already 13lb (so he eats like a champ, frequently during the day and at night). I think he knows day vs. night (his EASY routine is 2 to 3 hours long in the day, it only takes him 20mins to eat - I have crazy oversupply). At night though recently he has been doing shorter feeds and falling asleep. Last night was 7:45pm, 10pm, 12:30am, 4am, 7am. In those evening times when he should be 'tanking up', he's feeding for 10mins and I can feel I have a lot of milk left.
I'm not looking for him to sleep through the night, I'd just like a few longer stretches, like maybe a 4-hour stretch, and to get rid of the frequent evening feeds. At his weight of 13lb it seems to me his belly should be big enough to handle big feeds and in turn, a longer sleep.
Any advice?
Thanks!!
