Hi ladies,
We've been having a little bit of trouble with our routine for the last couple of weeks and i'm really lost at where to focus on.
Our DS will be 6mo next week and EBF (until next week where we'll introduce his first solids). We've past the 3-2 naps transition recently and have been on our way to dropping the dream feed. So you can see there's a lot going on and probably why I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Ever since the 3-2 nap transition we've been stuck on a very early start of the day and I'm not sure how to push the routine forward without tweeking the A duration which is already at 3h and getting us two good naps.
Here's what our routine looks like:
E: 5h30
S: 8h30
E: 10h00 / 10h30 (naps are between 1.5h or 2h)
S: 13h00 / 13h30
E: 14h30 / 15h00
Here's where I don't know what to do.
I have been giving a top up before BT and trying to keep BT within his A and a 12 hour daytime.
His Df was at 23h00 since he was 2mo old, but the problem now is that he has been waking to feed once between 20h00 and 23h00, then in the morning he wakes up and stays happy and quiet in his crib and doesn't seem hungry. He still breastfeeds on both breasts like he normally does but I think that's just because he's used to it.
Is he not having enough E during the day? Is it normal for his EASY to be in the 5h range? Are these the signs that he's dropping the DF?
Any suggestion will be helpful!
Thanks in advance!
