Hi all - I'm just wondering if there's a gentle way to reduce the # of times my little guy is waking up at night demanding a feed.
He's a big, strong boy at 10 weeks - he weighs 16 lbs. I am exclusively breastfeeding. He goes for longer periods (3 hours, sometimes a bit more) during the day than he does at night. Last night, he started down the "every hour" road, but I moved him to his swing, and then got 2-2.5 hours in between til morning. We do tend to feed him before he goes down, and try to put him to bed drowsy, but sometimes, we don't catch him awake.
I am lucky to not have to go back to work until the end of the month, but I'm afraid for how I'll cope after that!
Any advice for how to get him to sleep longer would be appreciated. (Or also, some reassurance that if we "just go w/the flow", it'll eventually work itself out.)
