Help!! My DS3 is 15w old. From about 8/9w (after sorting out a TT issue affecting bf'ing) he would have a feed before bed at 6/7.30ish and then sleep through until 3/4/5am. He pretty much always feeds every 2 hours during the day. At around 12w we had a regression to 2 hourly feeds at night but it only lasted a couple of nights. Since then he has started waking progressively earlier for his first night feed. We had a week of waking at 3 and then going every two hours, then it slipped little by little until the last two nights when he has woken at 9 and fed every 1.5-2hrs since then. It's killing me. Esp with it being half term and having to cope with DS 1 and 2. DH is away on business.
I'm trying to convince myself it's another growth spurt as I think they have one around 16w but the HV came on Thurs for his 3/4 month assessment and he's dropped 1.5 centile lines since birth. I normally only feed him one side at a time but changed to both sides at each feed post HV visit. My boobs are not getting the chance to fill up at all but he's getting milk as I always make loads and he's producing lots of wet and pooey nappies. He feeds for 5-10 mins each side so pretty quick but that's to be expected at his age I think.
He had a bottle of formula (took about 100ml) last night and went 3 hrs instead of 1.5-2 but not really a discernible difference.
My other two DS weren't this needy. I am so so tired and trying very hard not to lose it with my 2yo.
Can anyone suggest anything I could do or is it just wait it out? The overtired irrational part of me is starting to worry there's something wrong with him although he is his lovely happy smiley self when not demanding food or needing a sleep.
Other info: he has a cold which I am dealing with by tilting the cot and using Olbas oil. He is also a bit refluxy and vomits a lot and will only sleep on his front inc in the pushchair. HV wants me to get him weighed again in a month.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
