For about 2 weeks Waylon had gotten to where he would eat at 8:30, go to bed, then he wouldn't wake up until about 3:30-4:30 to eat again. Then back to sleep for about 3 more hours. The last 3-4 days though he's been getting up at around 1:30, 3:30, 6, and then 7:30, all to eat. In the day time he eats like this: around 7:30 AM- nurse 9 AM - about 4 oz baby food nurse again around 10-10:30 (morning nap follows around 11) eat 4-6 oz. baby food around 1:00 nurse again around 2:00 (mid-day nap follows) snack of about 2-3 oz baby food around 4:00 nurse again around 5-5:30 (afternoon catnap follows) baby food - about 4 oz - around 7:00 nurse again before bed at 8-8:30 Now during the day his nurses are more distracted, and at night he's full-on feeding. They all equal out to about 5-8 min long. Like I said, up until 3-4, maybe 5 days ago he'd gotten to where he was only waking once, really late at night, to eat. Any ideas? I miss my sleep..... ![]() ![]() |

Yep, sounds like he's just growing. As for the distractions during the daytime nursings, I think it's him becoming more aware of things going on around him, have you tried sitting in a dim/quiet room to see if that helps? |

Growth spurt. Gotta love them, but eventually this too shall pass. ![]() ![]() Also, if he's distracted and not nursing much in the daytime he'll tank up at night...just the way it is. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

You know, I should know this. He went through this about 5-6 wks ago, too. I just wasn't thinking I guess, and started down the wrong track thinking-wise. ![]() ![]() You're all probably right... he is just 6 months, right on time for another growth spurt. ![]() Thanks!!! |

Yep, usually every 3 months AND don't forget when you throw teething in there it just seems like they always have issues for at least the first year. ![]() |
