Hi,
My DS is 5.5 months and recently his A time has increased. He is also napping for longer stretches during the day, which is great, but I am finding it hard to work out when to feed him. He's ebf and can't really go more than 3.5 hours without a feed so we can't do a 4 hour EASY. He's not gaining much weight at the moment so I want to make sure he's getting enough milk during the day.
He's still quite erratic, but today's EASY was:
Wake Up - 7:00
Eat - 7:15
Activity
Sleep: 9:05-10:05 (I am working on stretching this first A time to get a longer nap! Sometimes I do get 1 hour 20 minutes.)
Eat-10:30
Activity
Eat-12:00 (gave top up feed before nap)
Activity
Sleep: 12:45-14:15
Eat-14:30
Activity
Catnap in car: 16:40-17:05
Eat-17:15 (one side only)
Bath time
Eat-18:15
Bedtime-18:45
If anyone has any ideas of how best to spread these feeds out then that would be great. Do you think top up feeds are a good idea or should I just give a half feed and another half feed? I am worried that without he'd wake up early from nap number 2 hungry.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
