My DS wakes twice in the middle of the night to eat (has been for a long long time) and he eats 7-8oz. During the day he usually only eats 5oz every 3 hours. It seems to me he is catching up eating in the middle of the night when he should be doing this during the day. He is very active, so I just thought that he is too inquisitive to eat during the day and at night he is relaxed and in the dark. He goes right back to sleep after eating in the middle of the night no problem. I was wondering what I could do to get rid of even one of the night feeds? It just seems so crazy that he eats so much in the middle of the night and during the day it's not much at all.
Also, He has 3 naps. Not long naps either. Usually 45 minutes to 1 hour. I tried the EASY routine, but sometimes after his nap he wouldn't eat. Wasn't hungry enough. I think because his naps are so short. Here is an example:
He usually has a bottle 4:00am-5:00am. Wakes at 7:00am. Never wants a bottle at 7:00am - not hungry. Usually wants it around 8:00am. Then naps at 8:30am until 9:30am. Now it's too early for another bottle at 9:30am because he just had one at 8:00am. I have to wait until 11:00am. Then he goes for a nap at 11:30am....
See what I mean. If I could get him to have a bottle at 7:00am. That might help. I have tried many times though and it's like he just wants to play.
What do you recommend?
