My daughter is nearly 4 months.She genererally sleeps from 630ish till 5-6ish with a dream feed and a bit dummy re inserting.This week she has started waking for a small amount of food between 2 and 4.She had her injections on Monday and I know she is teething.Is it normal for them to want a top up?
Thanks

My son is a similar age and wakes twice a night almost every night to feed. I think you're doing well!

Mine sleeps four hours after being put down then wakes every hour or so really hungry...then is up for the day at 5:30.. :(
Yours sounds angelic! There is a growth spurt around this time so they do need more calories

God, I'd give my right arm for this schedule and mines 8 months.

Oh ok haha.I know she is quite good I just didnt know if it was normal for the night feed that was dropped was needed again.Its a guessing game what unsettles her at night sometimes

Seems normal from my experience. My DS is 4 months and had been waking just once a night about 2/3am for a feed but for the past few weeks he is going to bed at about 7/7.30 and up for a feed again anytime 10-12,3 and 6ish (and then his big sister is up for the day anyway Confused), seems like a growth spurt to me, at least this is what I am telling myself to get me through it!

Sounds like you and your DD are doing very well with only one wake up, but it's all relative and I know what you mean, you are used to one thing and then it changes and seems to 'regress' and you worry this is the new normal! But it's all phases and sleep/feeding patterns change so much, especially in the first year I have found (no expert btw, just from experience with my DD and DS to date)
