Emma usually feeds every 3 hours or thereabouts. just the last couple of nights though she has about 1 1/2 hours when she wants to feed pretty much non stop. (why this has to happen at night i dont know... #-o ) but this has led me to wonder.....could it be that she stays on this long because i dont have enough milk? or could it just be a growth spurt? she then settles fine and gets up for her normal 3 hourly feeds for the rest of the night.

i had someone telling me that to get her to sleep better at night i should be waking her during the day if she goes longer than 3 hours. this really goes against the grain for me, as i think if she is asleep let her be, and she will eventually work out day from night. i also think that would be training her to never go more than 3 hours between feeds. mind you, i tried to tell this person my opinion but they just kept ramming it down my throat.... :mad:

i really dont mind being up more during the night if it what she needs, she really isnt a demanding baby at all. i just want to know that i am not creating any bad habits or anything. can anyone relate to this? i am just hoping to hear that it is ok to continue as i have been, i can always catch up on the sleep later in the day, and i would prefer a happy baby.
