Hi. My DS is 5 1/2 mos old. He is BF and we've just started a bit of solids.
The routine (when it flows smoothly) looks like this:
E - 7:30 (BF) Solids 8:30 - 1 tbsp of Rice Cereal
A
S-9:20-11:-00/11:15
E-11:30
A
S-1:00/1:10-3:00 (Wake him at 3:00)
E-3:30
A
S-5:00 (if we're lucky)-5:30...but often ends up being 5:20-5:40ish if we're fighting with him
E-5:30 Cluster Feed then 1 tbsp of Veggies
A
E-7:00
A
S - In Bed 7:30/7:40...asleep ?? (Bedtime is a battle)
No DF as it seemed to cause more night wakings.
He is partially swaddled (one arm out and legs free), no paci, has a lovie, BF both sides at each feed.
Introduced solids because he still seemed so hungry at night (keeps waking earlier and earlier to eat), and VERY interested when we are eating.
He rolls a lot.
Ok...I think that answers most of the questions. My DS has been waking for 1 feed for a while. BUT...it used to be 3-4am, then 2-3am, then 12-1 am...lately it has been 11-12am. So, he is going less time at night.
Also...the past few nights he has eaten at 11:15ish, but is up again at 4:00. I tried feeding him again thinking it might be a GS, but he obviously wasn't hungry, so I didn't let him continue (he just wanted the boob)...so we did pu/pd and shh/pat for a while. Then he was still awake, but not content, for about an hour! I don't know why he is up. He won't just play himself back to sleep. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
