I am wondering if what is happening to us is normal at this age, what to do/am I doing something wrong and risk of creating wrong sleep associations.
My DD is 9 mo and 1 wk. She started waking at night to eat. Last night 2 times and woke up crying early and ready to eat again. Previous night she woke up once and then woke up 1 hr earlier than usual crying and ready to eat.
In the recent past, she would be fine going without eating all night, which is for us 18:30 to 6:30. Sometimes she would eat once.
She is eating 3 meals and 4 bf a day. Almost all are good meals and BF lasts the usual time. How do I know meals are good? She stops wanting to eat.
How do I know she is hungry at nights? I guess I don't really, but she would not settle herself, eats full BF and falls asleep right after eating.
One thing might be important, she is very tired by 18:30 usually and recently she started dozing off at the breast. Not asleep but probably very close to. She eats slightly longer though as well, so I would think she takes same amount of milk.
