I hope you get some sleep soon xx
her sleeping coincided with the introduction of food at about 20 weeks.
In view of this i'm not totally convinced that it's the type of feeding you do that effects their sleep but it's just more dependent on the baby themselves!
I'm sorry, i'm not sure this is much help, and you're not expecting too much, especially after having a baby that slept thru quite early but it may just be in this baby's nature to take longer until they're ready.
Hope things settle soon and you get more sleep, sleep deprivation is such torture :roll:
dd1 started going 10-5 at 5 weeks then 10-6 at 6wks and she was totally breastfed.I think it depends on the baby hun. DD2 is 7wks tomorrow and goes 8-4 then back down to sometime between 6 and 8. I think a solid 11 hours for a totally breastfed baby at 13wks is fairly unusual hun x
We were bf with one formula before bed and my son was sleeping 5 hours from 11-4 and then waking at 7am. We then moved to completely breast feeding and he was feeding all over the place but I suspect we accidentally co-incided with a growth spurt. He was feeding for an hour every 2 hours then every hour and then he basically didn't move from me between 7 and 10.30pm!
I think he was also trying to increase my supply for the extra feed.
i think its a lot to do with feeding being so easy now, i know i could give her a 10 min feed and get her back to sleep of spend hours comforting her, lazy mummy
