Please help me stop the double night waking! My son wakes twice in the night around 2/3am and only takes an ounce, and wakes again 4am again for a few sucks on the boob. I've tried bottle and breast and he still wakes twice. It's quite frustrating and tires me out! He is almost 11 weeks. He sleeps from 6:30pm until we wake him 11/11:30pm for dream feed. We put him down at 6:30pm bc we have a 22 month daughter who I need to do bedtime routine and get to bed by 7:15/7:30pm. Anyway, before he wouldn't sleep until 8:30pm and was still waking twice in the night. Anything I can do to stop this? Wish he would wake at 4am and then sleep and wake at 6:30am!

I think this is quite normal for this age. DS2 is 7mo and only stopped doing this about 3 weeks ago (sorry).
Have you tried co-sleeping? It was the turning point for us. He goes to sleep in his cot and then comes in with us at about midnight and will sleep til 8.30 if we let him.

This is pretty much what my 12 week old DD is doing as well. I think it's normal and they'll eventually drop the feeds. BUT you could try pushing the feeds back by 10/15 minutes at a time for a few weeks and seeing if your DC drops one or merges the two?
