My DD is almost 15 weeks old and EBF. From about 8 weeks or so she'd got into a night-time routine of settling between 11 and 1 ish, and then waking at 4ish and 7ish which was great. however, in the last 3 weeks she is instead feeding at least every 2 or 2.5 hours at night.
I think she's comfortable, and wears a grobag so no covers issues etc.
During the day she feeds every 2 or 3 hours and family have been saying that they think this is too often for a baby that is getting on for 4 months old, and that this is encouraging nighttime snacking. I think she could go longer during the day but I've just been feeding her when she became unhappy rather than seeing if I can distract her.
Am I doing something wrong? Such frequent nighttime feeds are breaking me :( also, I hadnt originally intended weaning until at least 5 months but would starting to wean at 17 weeks potentially help the nighttime situation?
