My dd will be 4 months on the 10th. She started sleeping through the night about 2 weeks ago. She went through a good stretch. But now has been getting me up the last 4 nights. She has reflux but this is under control with meds (Prevacid) and she has been doing wonderfully. She did start taking Lactulose for constipation from the Prevacid and this has been helping. She takes it in her mid morning and dinner bottle. When she wakes up she doesn't seem to be in any pain and the one night I was so tired that I ignored her and she fell back to sleep. One of the problems is that she can roll over. So she rolls to her back and then can't get back on her stomach and gets upset. She sleeps on her stomach. I don't know if she is going through a growth spurt or not. She doesn't seem to be eating more. Here is her schedule...
Awake: 7am-takes meds.
Eats: 7:30am (5.5 oz.)
Activity: 8am
Sleep: 8:30 am (1.5-2hrs.)
Eat: 10:30am (5.5oz.)
Activity: 11:00
Sleep: 12:00pm (1.5 hrs.)
Eat: 1:30pm (5.5oz.)
Activity: 2pm
Sleep: 3pm (1.5hrs.)
Eat: 4:30pm (5.5oz.)
Activity: 5pm
Sleep: 6pm (45mins)
6:45pm- wakes up plays or takes bath
7pm.- takes meds.
7:30-8:00pm- eats and goes to bed
She has started waking up b/w 3:30-4:30 am. the last 5 nights
I don't dream feed b/c it wakes her up and is more of a disturbance. She is still on a 3 hr. EASY b/c she can't stay up for more then 1.5-1.75 hours. Goes for a nap w/o a problem, she is a thumb sucker so this soothes her. She can fall asleep by hershelf.
Has anyone else had problems like this? I always feed her when she wakes at night. She takes a full 5.5 oz. bottle. Should I try not feeding her, this will probably make her mad. Should I try feeding her less? Any advice would be appreciated!!! Thanks
