Too many feedings at night...
by Mowwy (no login)
Hi- I have a 3-1/2 mo old who is growing at a healthy rate. I am breastfeeding her exclusively, and until recently, her feeding pattern was every couple of hours during the day, and every 4-5 hours at night. However, I started work two weeks ago and ever since I started work, she has been getting up every couple of hours at night to nurse. Sometimes I wake up after I hear her crying but the moment I put her on my lap she falls asleep. She has always fussed about taking the bottle, and with her nanny, she takes 14-16 ounces during the day with great difficulty. Is she getting up more often at night because she is not eating enough during the day? How can I get her to sleep for a longer stretch at night, but make sure that she is eating enough for her age/weight? Thanks.
