Not enough hours in the day- dreamfeed?
Ds is 13 weeks and exactly 3 months today! Where is the time going? He's always been a good sleeper and is currently sleeping 10/11hours a night from 8/9-6/7. He's ff and feeding has been a bit all over the shop recently, it now seems that he needs/wants/can go longer between feeds so our 3hours is becoming 3.5-4hours. Now that's fine, but there's not enough hours of awake time to get his 5 feeds in (and he's not taking anywhere near enough to drop down to 4). For example today he woke at 7.30, second bottle at 11, third at 3, then 7pm. In his crib asleep at half8, so I've just tried a dreamfeed at 10 which was successful (I think) he barely woke up but drank a whole 6oz bottle and is now happily back in his crib. I did try burping him, but pretty much nothing though, is that normal where they're so relaxed? x

Know what you mean about not enough hours in the day...Lucas is starting to go 4.5-5 hours now, but doesn't wake up till 8am! Luckily he still seems to almost cluster feed in the evening, but it is hard to make sure they're getting enough!
glad its working
Yep, they don't bring up as much wind because they're relaxed.
Go with it until he tells you otherwise, that's what I did xx
