In Tracy's book she suggest that night wakeings are usually due to a food problem. I BF, so it's hard for me to determine how to give more during the day. The book suggest giving an extra ounce after each feed, but I don't have any BM frozen. If I give formula-about an ounce after each feed, will it lower my milk supply?
-If you bf, Tracy says to pump an hr. after every feed, then feed that milk to your lo after the next feed. That way you don't have to worry about freezing and thawing. If you give Baby more milk but don't pump, you WILL decrease your supply. If you think you're supply's fine, but just want Baby to go longer at night, then just cluster and df.
QUOTE I'm using the books plan to extend lo to a 4EASY routine, so I don't want to mess with that. I guess I could cluster b/f bedtime, but when? Will this mess up my progression to a 4EASY? We usually feed at 7, 1030, 130, 430, 730. We don't do a DF. She usually wakes at 1030-1100 for the first night feed. Then she wakes at 330 for the second.
-I'd cluster at 5:30 and 7:30, 2 hrs. apart before bed. It won't mess you up. Also, if you don't want her to get in the habit of waking at 10:30-11, you could df and wake HER, then you could phase it out later.
