My 6mo (next week!) has alwas been a quite good sleeper. He is EBF and for a few months would go down at 7 and wake around 3 for a feed and then wake for the day between 6 and 7. I know how lucky i am that he did this being BF!
Anyway recently he started waking earlier at around 1 and then again at 5 both times feeding. But then didn't want his feed 1st thing. This was fine, DH gets up with him, so I just stayed in bed until around 7.30.
But last night it all changed again! He woke at 2 had a feed and then woke at 5 as usual but wasn't hungry, he eventualy had a small feed and went back down around 6. I'm more than happy to feed him in the night when he's hungry, but would rather he kept sleeping if he isn't!
Has this happened to anyone - any ideas as to what we can do. I return to work in a month and would dearly love just one wake up! (again I know I'm lucky, DS has never comfort fed he only BFs when hungry) Also we have started solids as he is a bottle refuser. He has taken to them really well, thankfully, as he needs to have someting at cm's!!
Thanks
