We have used EASY from birth for both our sons. My first was textbook and very easy to read. My second DS is almost 10 weeks old, and touchy through and through
. He weighs in at nearly 15 lbs and is exclusively bf. He is on a 3 hour EASY schedule and is doing great except that he wakes every 2.5-3 hours at night. We cluster feed in the evening, and one DF at 11pm but he then wakes every 2-3 hours. He takes great naps, falls asleep fairly well on his own (sometimes needs a little pat-shh). I am wondering:
1. does he still need these frequent feedings?
2. is he waking out of habit?
3. or does he need the breast to fall back to sleep at night?
I have been trying to wait patiently for any kind of sleep stretch (even 4 hours would be GREAT) but maybe need a little guidance. Our first slept 8 hour stretches by 6 weeks so we didn't have to read too much into anything. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.
