He did eat well at the dream feed. Better than most nights. He was up at 530am though. I usually do pu/pd if he wakes at night but it is next to impossible to do after 5am, he's so hungry by then. So I fed him and put him back to bed. We got up at 715 (I slept in a bit) and fed again. It's been so long since he's been up in the night, I'm sure he has forgotten about the pu/pd routine.
Ya, I do think that he may want to drop the catnap. Depends on how well he has napped during the day. 2 good naps = no cat nap, bad naps = good cat nap! It's his last chance to get rested before bed.
I also think it might be time to drop the dream feed. Last few weeks he doesn't take much at it. I don't really like doing it, I'd rather go to bed. But everytime I skip it, he gets up between 5 or 6am. Hate that even more. I have read how to wean the dream feed, but I kinda think that won't work. How would moving the dream feed closer to bed time prevent early morning wake ups? I'm also still worried about my supply, maybe I could pump before bed instead? 12 hours is a long time to go without feeding.
There are so many variables. Yesterday he didn't take as much solid foods either, so maybe that's why he woke earlier.
I still haven't done what the LC told me to do (feed every two hours and/or pump more), I'm just not 100% convinced I need to do that. I have increased my fenugreek to 3 capsules 3 times per day, I was only taking 1 cap. 3 times per day and I guess that was not the right thing to do. I haven't noticed a change yet.
