Breastfed three month old walking 1.5-2 hourly for feexs

[Lagirl20]

My breastfed baby used to sleep for 3-4 hours at a time between feeds at night, until he turned 3 months old. He now wakes every 1.5-2 hours and I am on my knees with exhaustion. Any advice to make him go longer between feeds at night? I know he won’t sleep though but waking every 1.5 hours is ridiculous

This will be the 4 month sleep regression. Give him time to learn to sleep again. It'll pass.

Impressive that she can walk so early

😉

He sorry

I might be just guessing here but I have a hunch that the poor exhausted OP might have meant waking?

How often are you feeding in the day OP? If it's every 3 hours could you try every 2.5 to try and get those feeds in during the day?

Have a read of this on Wakeful 4 month olds.

Do they have a dummy? What I did about this was only feed every 3 hours max overnight, any other waking would be DH's job to settle with cuddles/dummy/rocking whatever needed. It passed fairly quickly.

I fed on demand and then caught up on sleep at other times. Leaps are about survival, not depriving your baby their feeds as suggested by some PP.

Baby isn't waking for milk. Baby is waking anyway and feeding back to sleep is the quickest way.

Are you producing much milk in the evening? I wasn't so topped up with formula before bed.

@PolaroidPrincess I had a read of that and couldn't really understand her point. Is it that baby is too distracted to eat well in the day? So maybe just feed in a dark room in the day?
