Deancey- as you know Tiahna is fantastic little sleeper at night she can go all night (uo to her best time of 9 hours or so... She only has little cat naps during the day but feeds every 2 hours during the day (i think its to make up for the long stint at night. Maybe ne is taking alot more milk and not needing to fill up as much... Could also be that he is playing more and wearing himself out more there fore needing more sleep then food...
Is he demand feeding or your just offereing booby every 4 hours??? I have started over the last week or so to feed play sleep play then feed again... Tiahna was waking up very happy and content but i was feeding her shortly after while she was happy... Now she is quite happy to play when she just wakes up feeds plays a little longer then i make her self settle (many time cry herself to sleep... ) This wears her out and she sleeps for about 15-20 mins during the day... so 10-15 min feed (if that)
burping (bout 10-15 mins...still hard to get them up)
Play time on Mat for 1/2 hour or so (sometimes she just gets grumpy cos she want to do something different)
Change time
then sometimes a little top up or straight to the cot for self settling
then when she wakes up i let her play in the cot till she's grumpy usually 15 mins to 1/2 hour then we start again
At night its the same except at about 4.30 after the play time on the matt when she starts to get bit grumpywe have nappy free time for 10-15 mins ... she loves no nappy time. Then bath time, play time and feed then more play then by 8.30-9pm were ready to put her in the basinette and it takes her about 5 mins to self settle to sleep 4 the night.
My son was an all round sleeper... at 3 months he was on formula and feeding every 4.5 hours and sleeping for 1-3 hours during the day inbetween feeds then 5 hour stints overnight.
Q? i read a thread about bubs going off the boob when mum had her AF??? or before or after she was due??? maybe a reason like that for his grumpiness
