HELP! Hah....I've been meaing to write this post for a few days now. My DS has recently changed his night routine. He has ALWAYS woken up at least once between 1-4am to eat as well as get changed. In the not so distant past, his routine was pretty much like this: bed 8 pm dream feed 11 pm wake up @ 4-4:30 am for feeding, and then back to sleep until 7 am. I have not changed anything as far as bed time goes, or the dream feed........but now @ around 1:45-2:00 am he is waking up wanting to eat--and he does eat 3-4 ounces--then sometimes wants to stay awake, then he is up for the day @ 6am--which doesnt work well. My husband and I both try to get him back to sleep, but it doesn't work. I tried waking @ 1:50 to soothe him to sleep, beforehe fully awoke, but it turned into a screaming fest, and he apparently wanted to eat. Any one have any suggestions about ANY of this? Id like to have him sleep through the night, but if not, Id like him moreso to wake up @ 7 am rather than 6 am!
Thanks I wonder too..if he maybe isnt getting enough ounces during the day to keep him satisfied..since he will only take about 4ounces every 3 hours--and weight gain is not a problem....
