Perhaps you're right..maybe it is a growth spurt...
Because this has been a gradual change here is his regular routine;
Cooper is an Angel/Textbook Baby.
5:45 wake and feed (4oz formula by Dad) back to sleep by 6:30am
9:00 am wake, BF total of 15 min + 3.5 oz formula (low milk supply issues - so supplementing)
Activity til 10:30am sleeps til 12:00-12:30pm
BF 5 min + 4 oz formula, activity time til 1:45 - sleeps til 3:30pm
Feed 15 min BF + 4 oz formula. Activity til 5:15 - sleeps til 6:15.
Feed 15 min BF + 4 oz formula. Typically awake until next feeding - Mostly face to face activity time, but some independent play. 8:45 feed 15 min BF + 4 oz formula. Activity til about 10 and then he is out for the night. Dream feed around midnight. And will sleep thru til 5:45 the next morning. ( I am truly blessed)
Now the early morning schedule has not changed (5:45 and 9am feeds) but once he shows his regular cues that he is done with activity time - I put him down and he will nap for only 30 mins and he is back awake. Sometimes cranky sometimes not.
This is what yesterday looked like (no change in the amount of formula or bf - doesnt want anymore than that)
Wake @ 5:45 - back to sleep by 6:30.
Wake @ 9 am - back to sleep by 10:30
Awake @ 11 - not hungry - just wants face time
Eat @ 11:30-45
Down for a nap @ 12:45 - sleeps for 45 minutes
Awoke frantic - hungry cry
Eat 1:30. Activity for 45 minutes. Asleep by 2:45.
Sleeps for 45 minutes, awakes. Not crying - just hanging out in his playard.
Let him play on his own for about 15-20 minutes and he falls back to sleep until 4:30.
Eats, activity time for an hour, shows signs of crankiness. Put him down to nap. Sleeps til 6:30. Wakes hungry.
Feed @ 6:45, play til 7:45 (including bath).
Stays awake mostly happy until 9:15 feed. Activity until 10:15 and down for the night. No dream feed and he slept until 8 am this morning.
My concern is that he is waking before he usually does. He has always been on 2.5-3 hour feed schedule...and he seems to be tailoring it back to 2 hours at times during the day. I am concerned that we will get off track from EASY and that I may be feeding him too much??
Maybe it is a growth spurt?
