DD is 8 months old (6.5 months adjusted for preemie). She has come home from day care each night since Tuesday (it's Friday morning) and gone to sleep by 6 PM (instead of usual 8:30 PM)--skipping her evening meal--and sleeping till morning (about 7 AM).
The 1st night, DH and I woke her up after 90 minutes to fed her but she refused to eat anything and there was major crying. She went back to sleep and slept through the night.
The last 2 nights, we've just let her sleep, thinking she'll wake up if she's hungry; it's not worth making her miserable for no reason. She's slept about 14hours each night.
Her sleep hasn't changed while at day care, she's eating enough during the day, her attitude is good, she has no fever and her development is on track, so we're not concerned about the missing meals if this is only for a few days.
She's gone through short phases when she's needed a 3rd nap every day, but this seems more than that. Anyone have a similar experience? Any suggestions for what to look for to indicate that this is something worth talking to the doctor about?
Thanks!
