At what age and how can you work on switching night and day?
DD2 is 6wks and EBF, she is mattress phobic her (sort of) routine is feed twice in the day sleeping in between in carseat or Moses if I'm lucky or on one of us. At around 5pm she starts to feed and feed and feed, dozing on me inbetween waking if I put her down.
This carries on until 3 or 5am!!! A full 12hrs. A cycle of feed, get her to sleep, try Moses, wake, scream, feed. Until she goes in Moses at 3or sometimes 5 am where she will stay for 4 hours wake feed and back down again. Problem being DD1 gets up at 7-8 leaving me at 2 hour sleep window.
So my question is how to move those blocks of sleep into an earlier slot and if the marathon feeding session before shows maybe an issue of her not getting enough or is it just comfort as she doesn't want to be alone?
I have tried keeping her awake mid afternoon (got more screams at night) making her stay awake to get a good feed rather than dropping off and always waking her for a feed three hourly in the day, no joy.
The only thing that got me a doze was lying down feeding and she slept but woke when lifted again (I won't cosleep), so is it hunger????
Gah do confused help!
