It's normal to wonder what's going on when their pattern changes, - but she is also behaving completely normally. It's an interesting exercise for adults to count how many times food or liquid goes into into their mouths. They tell us to have 8 glasses of water per day, 3 meals. A couple of snacks are normal. Already up to 13 feeds. Yet, strangely, a little baby, who needs to grow and who has a very little tummy is expected to get by on 4hrly feeds - just doesn't stack up.
Enjoy the longer night-time sleeps.
Now I can spend what remains of my evening wondering about the thing she just did, which was, at her last feed before going down to bed for the night, she took a little from one breast, then absolutely screamed when I put her to the other. Which I tried twice, then again after I'd changed her nappy. That's a new one to me, and I have no idea what the problem was. She's been cranky before, of course, but never cranky about the very idea of feeding.
Well I guess it keeps us on our toes, the way they keep changing.
