Waking at night: Is this hunger or habit?

[clarapist]

Thx. I feel better.   SO, instead of feeding at 3 hours, should I wait for his hunger cues??  (He eats his hands)  I'll then see if there's a pattern emerging.
I'm just SO desperate for him to sleep thru the night. I'm in trial and error (and error and error) and I just don't see any results.  Many of my friends had 10 hours at 10 weeks, etc. My babywise friends tell me to just leave him in the crib after a 45 minute nap until the next feeding time and "he'll eventually get it".  THEY don't get it!! 
What exactly did you mean by : "but if going 2.5 in the second still means he gets 2 naps then dont do that."

It's definitely a good idea to wait for his cues for a couple of days and see what's happening with the pattern. They change so fast! Just as soon as we get used to things, something changes.   

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you have a ways to go before sleeping through the night - assuming that you mean all night long. Your LO is still very young and will at least need a night feed for quite some time. Plus, when developmental things and teething kick in, you'll most likely have wakings again. I'm not trying to be harsh or anything, but I just want you to understand and not set yourself up for disappointment. You're doing great, so hang in there and just keep at it. EASY is a lot of work and not always EASY - but it truly does pay off.

OMG if it's not one thing, it's another. I fed him his last bottle of the night and he vomited it all back up. I waited 10 minutes and tried another oz, and he puked that up too. Called my pedi (luckily she's a friend) and she said to do pedialyte till tomorrow. If he can't keep anything down, need to go to an ER. It could be a bug, or pyloric stenosis.  (I'm out of town visiting my parents!)

*GASP* how awful!! Oh my goodness!

Well, luckily, it was a one time thing!!!  Whew. He went to sleep at 7:30, he woke at 1:00 and I tried an oz of Pedialyte, which was fine, and then 2 oz of formula and he was fine, and went right back to sleep. Woke again at 4, and took 1.5 oz of formula and right back to sleep. Woke a little at 5:30 and then 6:00, but patted back to sleep.  I got a treat and got to start the day at 7:30.
Today, however, has been a different story. I think there were 2 60 minute naps (not sure if 45 or not) and then a 3rd 45er, and he went to sleep again for last nap at 5:30. I will wake him at 7:00 and do bath, then bottle, then bed, I think.

It's SO weird how every day he gets different amounts of sleep. (Yesterday was a total of 5.5 hrs during they day, and today is a measly 4.25.)  Tonight will be bad, I'm sure.
We do go home tomorrow night from my parents, and MAYBE he'll get back into a better routine.
Oh, I let him ask for food today and it was every 3 hours on the dot!  (Maybe making up for puking up some last night?)
