DD 9 weeks old and is awake in the evenings between her 7pm and 10 feed (rough timings, we demand feed but she has a natural 3 hour cycle) which means that we get no time off in the evenings, have to take turns eating dinner etc. She also takes up to 2/2.5 hrs to complete one feed (ff) as she stops half way through and won?t take the rest for a good while so we?re constantly attending to her and mopping up the large quantities of vomit and posseting (she has reflux and possets up to 8 to 10 time per feed on average along with a couple of big vomits. She is on medicine for this, doesn?t seem to make a vast amount of difference on the amount she brings up but she doesn?t appear to be in discomfort). The 10pm feed means that none of us get to bed before midnight or 11.30 on a v good day, 1am on a bad day.
She has recently started to have the occasional 5 hour sleep initially then a v small feed and then a 2 hour sleep after that which is great.
We would love to get her down at 7 with a dream feed at 10 but I have no idea how to start doing this and don?t want to a) change what we currently do if she?s too young to have her body clock changed or b) start something half heartedly and have it go wrong because I don?t know what I?m doing.
Any help on how to go about successfully implementing this would be greatly appreciated. Will post in Feeding too about her slow eating.
Thank you in advance
