So Austin is now waking at 4.30 most nights, apart from the odd one where he tricks me into thinkin he'll go till 6 again...lil monkey.
So what I was doing was feeding him just enough at 4 to get him through till 7...which he was fine with. (4oz)
However the 4.30's are killing me as Im strugglng to get bk to sleep and then before I know it hbbys alarm goes off at 6 and then I end up up for the day...boo hoo....grumpy me!!
So Im thinking of dreamfeeding, not tried it before.
Tried it last night, with the 4oz bottle at 10pm. Well....he then woke at 5....n then 6.30. I didnt feed him till 7 as I dnt actually think he was hungrey, andhe could have still been waking out of habit I guess.
So tonights strategy...hubby gunna give him his dreamfeed at 10.30 (hlf hour later) and give him a 7oz bottle (which he normall has in the day) and see what happens there. He probobly would have drunk more last night, but as he was asleep, I didnt want him to throw it all up
* So anyone do this??
* Do u wind ur LO after?
* How much do u give them n at what time?
* Does it work?
Will I ever get a full nights sleep?
I appreciate that we get a decent stretch n sorry in advance to the mummys who are gettin less than me and who r thinking (she should think herself lucky, lol).
I would just definately stay up a little later and then sleep till 7 that put him down at 7.30...go to bed at 10.30 anyways an d then be up at 4o clock.
xxxxxxx
