Sleep regression?!

Question

Our little girl is 19 weeks and has started to now wake up around 3am crying! She will have a bottle of breast milk and go back to sleep but aren't you not supposed to feed during these time? It could also be a growth spurt too?? Any advice please!?!?

Answer

If they won't go back to sleep with rocking or patting and they truly are hungry, there is nothing wrong with giving a bottle or nursing (if you are still BFing.) It is late but I'm assuming 5 months (i only know that my son is almost 16 weeks because I go back to work Thursday and I had 16 weeks off from work...)

That's still young enough that if they wake up hungry, you absolutely should feed them. Don't make them starve if they're hungry. They'll just keep waking up until they get fed.
