Hi everybody
I'm combi feeding my lo who is 3 months old (1 bottle before bedish). Whilst I know it's common for breast fed baby's to feed frequently still, I'm wondering whether he actually needs feeding so often. In the day time he can manage to go 2.5/3 hours between feeds and sometimes he can do a long stretch at night usually from when he's first put down at 7 (3 or 4 hours, but then its hourly or 2 hourly) But there seems to be no consistency. I've tried giving him a bottle at 7 and giving him a bottle at 10 but it doesn't really make a difference. Last night my husband slept by his crib and managed to settle him without a feed on one of his wake ups although there was a bit of tired crying before hand. He doesn't cluster feed at night anymore and he has a bedtime routine. He probably has 3 to 4 40mins naps during the day. Basically I'm wondering whether he should be capable of longer stints at night and whether I shouldn't feed with every wake and just try and settle him?
