Feeing issue or sleeping issue? (or both?!)

My DD is 3 months. Until now she has been a brilliant sleeper, in that after a lot of cluster BF-ing in the evening she would settle any time between 8 and 9pm and generally go through till at least 4am, often later. She'd then take a feed and immediately settle again. Heaven, after a nightmare with my DS who was not a sleeper at all. But in the last week she's changed. She now wakes at about 1/2am, feeds and then wants to feed at least once more before 6am, when by DS gets up. It's far from the end of the world, I know, but having had it so good I miss it! I tried a dream feed at 11ish for 3 ngihts but it made no difference at all. Does any one have any experience of this, and any potential remedies? I don't know if she's suddenly become very hungry, and I am not satisfying her as I used to, or if her sleeping pattern has just shifted. Hmmmmmm....

I could have written your post. I have no answers, but hopefully someone will help us out soon. DS2 is now 4 months and wakes every 2 hours. For the first 3 months he slept like a star until about 4am or later. I'm finding it really hard to wean him off feeding at nights. Am trying to make the feeds shorter and shorter but it is really hard when you're breastfeeding and have a strong let down.

Am also in same situation with 15 week old. Until last week she was either feeding once or a night or actually sleeping through from 8.30-7. For the last week she's fed every night up to 3 times which has been a bit of a shock. Last night I put her down earlier but woke her for a feed when I went to bed, so I'd had more than 1 hours sleep before she woke! She fed at 4.30 and then slept til we all got up at 7 which is better.
