My ds is still only sleeping 4 hours at a time. Sometimes if we are lucky he will go 5 but not often. He has a dreamfeed at 11 and then wakes between 3&4 every morning. I have tried just giving him his dummy and while he will go back to sleep very easy with it he will then wake up in another 30-40 minutes. I tried doing this over the course of one week to see if it was habit or hunger and he kept waking every 30-45 mins until 7am when I fed him every night. He also will pretty much drain a bottls so I think it is hunger. But shouldn't he being doing longer stretches by now or is this normal?
