I began having problem with my baby of ten weeks with the routine. She was not a "textbook baby" to begin with but now it's more worrisome.
She sleeps through all feedings now and it is impossible to keep her awake (tried suggestions to keep her awake but it only works for a minute). So she is on and off, but mostly off with max eating of 15 min and only sometimes a full feed.
She was trying to follow Gina Ford routine (trying to get on it with some flexibility and some success) but now it's all over the chart and no routine at all, she sleeps when eating, but eats for fifteen minutes, she sleeps shorter periods at nap times, may be 30 min or one hour but cries in between (although her eyes seem closed), then she wakes up very hungry and again eats for fifteen minutes. Even If I succeed to wait out three hours to pass between feedings, she will still eat fifteen minutes and fall asleep. At night - for her 10pm feeding she has close to four hours gap between feedings and it's again a fifteen minutes feed.
I am wondering if it's a period that will pass or if I should be doing something differently.
Tangential worry is that her fifteen minutes feeding will dry out my milk.
