My baby (aged 15 weeks, formula fed) was previously waking for a full night feed around 3-4am then sleeping until 7/8am ish. He has recently started waking up again at 5.30am on the dot - so often only 1.5hrs after being fed a full feed. At 5.30 he is restless and seems hungry but when I feed him he will only take a tiny amount (10ml) and is very squirmy, wriggly and stressed when attempting to feed. After having the tiny bit of milk he then immediately falls asleep in my arms. I put him back in his side sleeper cot and within a few minutes he's woken up inconsolable. He is then inconsolable until 7.30/8am at which point he will take a bottle.
Today I tried just patting him and comforting him at 5.30 instead of feeding, but he still became inconsolable for a couple of hours.
Do any sleep experts understand this pattern? Anything I can do differently here?
