My DS doesnt self settle so I know this is an issue but i have accepted 1.5 - 2 hourly wakes up (was 45min) since xmas. I am happy feeding to sleep as i am not prepared to do sleep training (yet) and if i rock DS he wont be lowered into his cot - he springs wide awake about 4inches from the mattress i usually transfer him sideways from my bed to his next to me after a feed.
Anyway he has been feeding (gulping) alot for night feeds in the last few weeks.
Last night he literally would not get off my boob. I counted 11 wake ups and probably double failed attempts to get him into bed between 7pm and 7am. He was feeding ALOT but essentially just would not let go of my nipple - we have been having some success with pantleys pull off until last night!!
In the day he will feed every time he is offered (could be every 30min!) But he is very easily distracted so feels like hes snacking.
Does this match up with a growth spurt? He was 2 weeks late. We havent even got out of the 4mth regression yet
Hopefully that hellish night was a one off!! But in terms of the night feeds do i wait it out or try and reverse the load of day and night feeds??
