DS is 12 weeks old.
He started sleeping through at 6/7 weeks (10pm -7am).
As he got older his bedtime got earlier so his natural routine became something like;
Wake 6am
6oz bottles at 6, 10, 2, 6, 10/11 (df)
Bedtime 7pm
We've been doing this for the last 5/6 weeks.
In the last few days he has been getting restless at half 4ish, just soothed him a bit and managed to get him through til 6. Then he started waking up at 5am so I had to get him up then, did all the morning routine etc, changed times of feeds accordingly and he fell asleep by 6:15am! (Slept until 8:15am).
So for the last couple if days I've added an extra bottle and done feeds at 5:30, 9:30, 1:30, 5, 7, 10:30 (df)
He still wakes up at half 4/5 though.
My main problem is that when I go back to work he needs to get up at half 6, so I'm not sure what to do about this new routine or what bottles to give.
He seems happy on 6oz in the day and he only took 4oz of the additional bottle.
I'm wondering if I should drop the dream feed and just do a night feed when he needs it (assuming he will wake earlier)? DP reckons we should carry on as we are but wake him up at half 6 as usual and see if he goes back.
I hate waking him up, I always feel sorry for him!
Has anyone else had this? Is it a phase?
