3 MONTH OLD TAKING MOST OF CALARIES AT NIGHT

[B1PZNT49]

MY DD WILL BE 3 MONTHS ON SUNDAY.  SHE IS INTO A HABIT OF EATING VERY LITTLE DURING THE DAY (A FEW 3 OUNCE FEEDINGS) THEN SHE EATS AT AROUND 11PM, 3 AM AND 6AM TAKING 6-7 OUNCES..SO...SHE IS GETTING ALMOST 20 OUNCES BETWEEN 11PM AND 6AM AND GETTING ABOUT 10 OUNCES ALL DAY...
I HAVE HEARD OF A METHOD WHERE YOU BEGIN TO WATER DOWN THE NIGHT TIME BOTTLES, A LITTLE AT A TIME (PERHAPS 3 OUNCES OF REGULAR FORMULA WITH 2 OUNCES OF WATER ADDED) THEN GRADUALLY BY THE END OF THE WEEK IT IS ONE OUNCE OF REGULAR FORMULA THEN THE REST WATER..
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THIS IS SAFE TO DO....OBVIOUSLY I WOULDN'T TRY IT FOR MORE THAN A WEEK SO AS NOT TO TAKE AWAY TOO MANY OF  HER NUTRITION BUT I'M HOPING THAT SHE WILL EVENTUALLY BE VERY HUNGARY DURING THE DAY AS THE NIGHT FEEDINGS WON'T BE AS FILLING WHEN WATERED DOWN..
ANY SUGGESTIONS??? THANKS..
VERY TIRED MOM..

Do you have a routine at all for your daytimes? Or bedtime? Have you tried to help your LO to tell the difference between night and day?
Sounds like she has them mixed up.
I wouldn't recommend that you water down the bottles if she's eating them at night. Your LO still needs the food so you don't want her not getting enough. Post your routine and I'll see what I can do to help you get this worked out.

OKAY, HERE GOES...SHE HAS BATH AT ABOUT 7PM...BOTTLE ABOUT 730 AND IS ASLEEP BY 8- 815...SHE WILL NEVER TAKE MORE THAN 2 OUNCES OR SO AT THAT FEEDING, I ASSUME BECAUSE THE BATH MAKES HER SO TIRED SHE JUST WANTS TO SLEEP....
THEN SHE IS UP AT ABOUT 1130 OR 12..TAKES ABOUT 6-7 OUNCES, THEN AGAIN AT ABOUT 2- 3 AM WHEN SHE TAKES ANOTHER 6-7 OUNCES AND AGAIN AT ABOUT 6PM....IT VARIES SLIGHTLY OF COURSE..
THE 1130 FEED IS A DREAMFEED...BUT SHE SURE GULPS IT..
SHE IS UP FOR GOOD ABOUT 7- 730..NOT INTERESTED IN EATING UNTIL ABOUT 9PM AT WHICH POINT SHE TAKES ABOUT 3 OUNCES AND REPEATS THIS EVERY 3-4 HOURS THROUGHOUT THE DAY (TAKING 3 OUNCES ONLY). SHE NAPS EVERY MORNING FROM ABOUT 9-10 OR 930 TO 1030 THEN AGAIN IN AFTERNOON FROM ABOUT 12-30 TO 3 OR 1-4 KIND OF THING...SHE ALSO CAT NAPS AROUND 6 - 630 .....
ALSO WILL CAT NAP IF I AM OUT AND ABOUT IN THE CAR....
SO SHE SLEEPS FROM ABOUT 8PM TO 7PM BUT IS UP TO EAT..THE FEEDINGS TAKE ABOUT 1/2 HOUR AND THEN SHE IS RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP...
I'M NOT COMPLAINING SO MUCH ABOUT HAVING TO GET UP WITH HER..
I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT SHE HAS HER EATING HABITS REVERSED...
SHE SHOULD BE EATING MORE DURING THE WAKING HOURS?
