My 15 week old DD used to have a formula feed at 7pm, then wake once at 1 am in the night for a b/feed, then sleep and wake up at 7am to start the day.
For the past week she has been following the routine above, but waking up at 5am in addition. For the first few days I just gave her the dummy and she eventually fell back asleep. But last night I wondered if she was hungry so I offered her a bottle and she took the whole 6 oz! I was amazed!
So what should I do to stop this extra feed? The obvious solution would be to give her more at the 1am feed but this is pretty much the only breast feed she has nowadays and she generally falls asleep at the boob so I gently transfer her to the moses basket. I would have to wake her up to get her to take more and I am loath to do that (also she may not want anymore at that time).
Any suggestions anyone? Thank you!
