am I rubbish at feeding?

[pinkr]

Dd is 20weeks and ebf. My worry at the moment is that Im doing something wrong. Her sleep has been pretty rubbish since 12weeks And no matter what I do she's up a minimum of every two hours.. I can set my watch by her.i giveher both sides. I keep her on for ages but she's Always hungry two hours laterafter.. is this a bad habit we've gotten into? I feel she's obviously not getting something as she is always hungry. Other babies the same age seem to be capable of a longer stretch so there must be something.i know sleep at this stage can be poor but this seems to be more relayed to feeding. Is there anything I can do? I've tried getting more during day, I've tried feeding less, she used to be able to go longer which is why I'm wondering if my milk is enough.

Oh and I should say she doesn't feed to sleep unless it's the middle of the night and she falls asleep while feeding. She goes down happily in cot at seven, will play and laugh and then fall asleep herself. I think this means she can self settle? All my friends babies go down asleep so I can't figure out why my dd is by far the worst sleeper

Well someone has to have the worst sleeper, they aren't all the same. Also take what people say with a pinch of salt, I'm not saying they are lying, maybe just have different definitions (one woman told me her dd slept through, turns out she got up and rocked her back to sleep several times, she just didn't feed her so called that sleeping through).

4 month sleep regression can muck up their sleep, it's their brain development waking them up. Also could be a growth spurt. If so, should be temporary.

2 hours, hellish as it feels, is not actually that unusual to go between feeds. I'm not saying you should be fine about it, just don't think you are the only one with this or that you are doing something wrong.

Your milk is perfect, custom designed for her. I would try and feed more in the day as otherwise they can wake up more. My son did this (called reverse cycling) as he was too nosey to feed in the day.

Have you thought about co-sleeping once she wakes up. Not for everyone but you can get a rest.

She is in a bed nest. I think it's hunger rather than sleep...She surely should get enough to go one longe stretch though

I feel that after ten weeks this every two hours has perhaps become a bad habit but I don't know how to break it.
