i am trying to switch my 5 1/2 month old to a 4 hour EASY (she has been on 3 hr EASY since week 1). She has been a little behind because of reflux. She can only eat 3-4 oz at a time. i have made sure that she is getting the same amt of formula (about 30 oz total)...w/ a cluster feed in the evening & dream feed. She has been teething (but since 3 months..so i don't think it's that). She has also been rolling over...but has been doing that since 4 months & has learned to sleep on her tummy...so i don't think it's that either. She sometimes wakes before her dreamfeed, which is usually 11pm. But it's not from hunger b/c she won't take much at that time. i have fed her a few times early...but i don't want to continue this habit. After the dream feed she wakes about every 2 hours. I will pick her up & put in her paci & she usually goes back to sleep pretty quickly. However, i am just wondering why she waking. & if i am doing the right thing by switching her schedule. She seems to be doing fine with staying awake for 2 hrs (she has been a little fussy. so sometimes i let her play quietly or let her wind down for a longer period of time) & she usually sleeps the full 2 hour nap (2 x day)...with 2 other short naps...1 in the evening & 1 in the morning. i do end up feeding her at 5:30am or 6am...but she really does seem to be starving at this point. & she usually goes back to sleep until 7am. However, this throws off the EASY schedule...i let her stay up for a little bit & then try to get her to sleep for 45 min...in order to go back to EASY for the rest of the day. Eventually i hope that she will sleep until 7am. :) Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Am i doing the right thing?
