Sorry havent had time to catch up properly bloody work getting in the damn way but hugs and
and sleepy dust to those in need.
Am after quiche advice please.
DS slept through at 6 weeks old, for two weeks. Has never done it since. When I moved to FF he quickly started taking 6 x 8oz bottles between 6am - 7pm and never took a dream feed. As he drank so much during the day, I have basically not fed him overnight for months, just shsssh/patting / rocking him / bring him into bed with me to get him back to sleep when he wakes. Up until a month ago, bringing him into bed with my was enough to get him to drop off again. Not so much now. It usually takes between 30 - 90 mins. He wakes around 2/3am. If shssshed back to sleep, 5.30am is average wake up, 6am is a rare achievement, and we have been known to start the day at 4.30am.
In the last couple of weeks he's dropped a day time bottle due to food intake.
DS woke at 3am last night. At 4am I caved and changed his nappy and gave him a bottle. He drained it super fast and then passed out until 7am.
Do I feed him if he wakes then? Am I setting a bad habbit? Should I try and establish a dream feed?
I dont want to set up an expectation that there is a nice warm bottle at 3am every night, but I am back at work and would prefer a quick 15-30 minutes once, rather than up to 90 mins of shssshing before giving up and starting the day at stupid o'clock.
Any ideas gratefully received.
