babywise moms?

Question

Any EBF moms following the book baby wise? I have read it and follow the three hour feeding schedule during the day and my 14 week old baby still wakes up every 2-3 hours at night to feed. I am going back to work next week and the nights are killing me! Any suggestions appreciated!

Answer

My LO put herself on the babywise schedule before I found out about it. In my opinion, the best way to get your baby to sleep through the night is to follow their cues. Let them set the schedule, not the other way around. Your baby's body knows what it needs, and if you just allow nature to take its course you will find that you achieve better results. Good luck!

Answer

I feed on demand. He cluster feeds every night from 5-8:30/9 when he goes to sleep. Wakes up around 4/4:30 and back out until 7:30/8. Not exactly sure what baby wise says but this works for us. Every baby is different. Do what works for you.

Answer

Answer

Answer

Following.. I've been loosely following the baby wise. Basically making sure we are on a sleep, feed, play cycle and feeding at least every 3 hours. He started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks (6-8 hour stretch) until about 10 weeks.  Now he is back up every 2-3 hours 😩😩😩😩

Answer

On nights I'm really tired I will pump give dad a bottle so he can put her to sleep and I go to bed early. I still get up in the middle of the night to feed but that little extra bit of sleep helps! Good luck

Answer

There are some great babywise groups on Facebook and also check out babywisemom.com. I get tons of info there and FB is nice to see someone going through the same thing.

Answer

I've never heard of baby wise. There was a book about baby language that came out when I was pregnant with my oldest. I used that when I had her and I use it with my baby now. It says that when you hear them say "Nah" it means they're hungry. We've gotten so good with it that my baby just yells it out like she's calling for me and I come with boobie lol. She goes to sleep around 8:30 and wakes up around 6:30 when daddy's alarm goes off.  My oldest was tbe same way.

Answer

We are loosely following babywise and my LO is EBF. He is 12 weeks and on a 3 to 3 1/2 hr feeding schedule. Our nights got drastically better once we started a bedtime routine. At 8pm we do bathtime, a little baby massage, dim lights and music 8:30 we give him a bottle of breast milk and he is usually asleep by 9:30. He usually sleeps until 2/2:30 feeds and diaper change then right back to sleep, wakes at 6ish feeds diaper change then sleeps until 9. As far as the feed time, wake time sleep time it doesnt always work out that way sometimes hes awake and sometimes he naps. But as long as our nights are better I don't mind the days.

Answer

I ebf and he eats about every 2 hours we feed on demand. I make sure he takes a few good naps. We wait until he is tired between 8-9 and then start the bedtime process bath and feed (even if he just ate) when he is sleepy but not asleep I put him in his bed and he falls asleep on his own. Till about 11 weeks he was geting up at 4-5 and then up for the day between 8-9. Now at almost 13 weeks he sleeps till around 7 and is up for the day.
