DS has slept through the night (and we're talking about 6:30-6:30) from 3 months on. Several weeks ago he started waking about 5 and crying and fussing until I fed him. This progressed and continued every night until now he's doing this at 3 or 4 am. He cut his first tooth and I thought that would be it, but it's continued (that was about a week and a half ago. The tooth didn't seem to bother him otherwise (no gnawing or fussing otherwise).
I have tried to ignore him to see if he settles down; he doesn't. He's a breastfed baby and drains me during these am feedings). I tried to pull him off before he was finished (to decrease the milk he got to try to wean him) last night and he screamed bloody murder. No foolin' this hungry man.
He has taken formula as supplement when I haven't been able to produce enough and sucks it down just as well. :) Should I try this and decrease the amount of formula in his bottle?
Thoughts?
Thanks
Amanda
