About a month ago, Will started sleeping through the night...meaning, he would eat around 6:30, go to bed at 8:00, sleep until 11:00 when I would give him his "Dreamfeed" (where he just eats and hardly even wakes up), and I'd put him straight back to bed and he would sleep until 7:30ish. Once he had slept like this for about two weeks, I started moving his dream feed up earlier and earlier slowly but surely. As of last night, he ate at 7:30, went to bed at 8:30 and I fed him again at 9:30, and he slept through the night until 7:00.
Thank you, Lord, for such a good sleeper. It has been a GAME CHANGER, folks. I'm a new woman. And I'm no longer on Prednisone keeping me awake at night either! Woohoo for sleep!!!
Sooooooo (for my own memory) here is a typical day (give or take 30 minutes or so)...he is definitely transitioning to a four-hour feeding schedule, but we are not there yet. We are somewhere between 3-4 hours and usually right around 3.5 hours.
9:00-Nap
11:00-Eats 5 oz
12:45-Nap
2:30-Eats 5 oz
4:15-Nap
6:30-Eats 6 oz
8:00-Bedtime
9:45-He sleeps, and I feed him another 5-6 oz
....and repeat!
It's working well for us!! Thank you, BabyWise! Last week at his appointment he weighed 17 pounds! A growing boy!!!
