feeding at night; not interested during the day - HELP!

[princess77]

my baby is nearly 5 months, EBF and for the last couple of weeks she has been refusing to feed during the day but is feeding for about an hour at 7pm and then waking up every 1.5 hours from 10pm - 7am and feeding for 20 - 30 mins at a time. I am exhausted. I am thinking that I will have to refuse to feed her at night to get her to re-set herself and get back into feeding during the day but I don't know if i will be able to let her cry (she has a lot more stamina than i do at 3 in the morning). Any advice please???

Sorry at work but here are a couple of links which might be useful.

We had this. Now I offer more feeds, when he has woken from nap, lying down in a room with no dh, no music etc. As advised by Kellymom.

It is a pain sometimes but he def takes more in the day and less at night - unless he's been ill.

You may find by refusing to offer feeds at night you just end up with a pee-ed off baby. And she may be trying to up your supply as hormones are more receptive (or something) in evening / night.

Better to concentrate on increasing the day time feeds IMO.
