Hello
I know everyone wants little one to sleep through and with 19mo and 5 mo I could now do with some core hours where I can sleep. Baby is being BF but I am introducing formula slowly with a cup. She is waking at 3am almost on the clock and is not hungry and does go back down but then wakes 5-5.30am. I do feed at 11pm but she is not guzzling.
If I could cut out the 3am stuff that would help enormously.
At 5 months BF how many feeds a day are you doing? I have tried feeding now to an approximate schedule but that does not seem to be working - in the day should I encourage bigger feeds and bigger interval inbetween. I know lots of people say feed when they want but there is some sense in getting most feeds in during the day and minimising the nighttime stuff and I am feeling a little down with things sometimes getting on top of me so I really feel sleeping better would help my perspective on things. I try to respond to baby's needs but also need to consider things in the round. Any thoughts experience would be helpful.
