DD is 15 months today. Up until 3 weeks ago she still nursed 2x/night, but as I'm 9 weeks pregnant we cut that out now. Ever since she's been waking angry between 5 and 6 and I can't get her back to sleep, and DH usually can't either. I'm pretty sure she's just hungry. That's problem #1.
Problem #2 is that she still nurses every 2 hrs during the day. I can occasionally get her to go 3 but there's usually a fair amount of crankiness somewhere in there if I try to stretch her. Again it wasn't a problem but thinking ahead to tandem nursing I don't want to nurse both kiddos every 2 hours or for her to nurse more than the baby! She has nursed every 2 hrs during the day since she was 6 months, and nothing has helped. She has also been eating TONS at meals lately and is always asking for food, but still nursing every 2 hours.
She has definitely grown in the last few weeks and gotten heavier, and is also working on molars.
Today so far:
6:40 - nursed, both sides, both were very full
7:30 - breakfast - 1.5 eggs, 3x2" square baked oatmeal
9:00 - nursed.
Begging for food while we were doing dishes and so we fed her a couple Tbsp of raisins.
She's been regularly eating an egg+ and then a whole banana for breakfast or dinner... and what she wants is always changing, since some days she refuses favorite foods and scarfs down foods she normally doesn't care about.
So anyway... we're trying to deal with the EW and also stretch her feeds during the day, so any tips really majorly appreciated.
