Our baby has slept 10-5 and then 5.30-8.30 since being 2 weeks old. However over the last few weeks she has been going to bed around 7-8pm, we therefore introduced a dream feed. Sometimes she’s too asleep to drink anything, sometimes she stays asleep and drinks a few oz and sometimes she wakes completely.
It seemed to keep her asleep for the first few nights, however now she is still waking around 2-3am for a feed and then seems to be unsettled for the rest of the night until waking for the day between 6-7am
Am I expecting too much? Should I keep trying with the dream feed?
She doesn’t wake crying, I can just hear her writhing around fighting her arms in her swaddle bag. (We have attempted to take her out of the bag but her arms are still very flaily and wake her up)
We also think she could be teething? And according to our wonder weeks app she could be in a leap?
I hadn’t felt exhaustion until this week. The later bedtime seemed to work so much better but she just can’t stay up like that anymore
