I hope it is just a growth spurt! Yesterday I changed strategy a bit:
- I let him only have his catnaps during the day,
- and fed him every 2.5 hours, making sure he got 6 full feeds in (plus his early morning one from the night before)
so last night he slept from 9pm-4.30am (waking once at 3am with a pooey nappy and fell asleep again once I changed it). So that's pretty good.
So one of the two things worked, but I can't do one without the other (ie if I try to get him to sleep more it may mean missing a feed). The annoying thing is, when he woke at 4.30 this morning, after the feed he seemed to think the day had started and only did a catnap afterward! He is sleeping again now let's hope it's for a while.
I think maybe feeding him so much has boosted my milk supply too so that will be good if it is just a growth spurt. Fingers crossed!
Kirsty - Gemma sounds just like James having a big morning nap too, then just cat-napping! Debbie Lee I am a bit afraid of wrapping him again! He likes having his hands and sometimes when he wakes he will suck them back to sleep (won't take a dummy).
sherieb - what is farex?
