Hi all
I'd really like to hear any of your views and opinions on this subject as I don't have a clue what to do...
My son is 4 mths old and is still having a night feed which is normally around 2am-3am. But the last 2 nights he has slept from 10.30pm to 4.30am which is great for me, but I don't know whether I should be feeding him at this time or should I just try to settle him back to sleep. So far I have been feeding him and he has taken a full bottle which makes me think that he woke because he was hungry ... BUT he is still waking again every 1/2 hour or so after I have put him back down so I have to go in and settle him back to sleep (if possible).
Also over the last few weeks he has been waking at 5.30am every morning - no matter what time I have fed him during the night - and he is WIDE awake - there has been no chance of getting him back to sleep - he's not hungry and he's not crying but he is awake and grizzling to get picked up. It makes for a VERY long day if I have to get up at 4.30am or 5.30am ...
I hope this makes sense ... and I would really appreciate any help and advice or would like to hear from anyone else in the same position. sad
