Its taking 1hr per feed and she wants to eat every 2 to 2.5hrs, is it too early to start to make her wait a bit longer than she wants to?

Is there any way to speed up feeds? She takes them faster in the day, would it be crazy to wake her up more to feed at night?

I know she is only little and it won't last forever but DS is in the 18month sleep regression and its all getting a bit much.

I wouldnt worry too much about the spacing between feeds yet, (are you timingfrom the start of one feed to thw start of the next?), but if it us taking an hour to feed, maybe go up to Size Two teats. They have a slightly faster flow so may help as she wont struggle so much to get the milk.

Thanks, my sleep deprived brain had forgotten teat sizes need to change, her feeds have been faster and biger today so I've fingers crossed for some improvement tonight.
