For two weeks my 6wo was sleeping about 4-5 hours after his last feeding at 10pm. He then woke up every two hours after that (I’d be up at 2am, 4am, 6am, and then wake up for the day at 8am). LO is EBF except for one pumped bottle at the 10pm feed that my husband gives him.

Over the last four days he has only been sleeping 2-3 hours and then he’s wide awake at the second feed around 4am.

I have to go back to work at 12 weeks and need him to start sleeping giving me 6 hour stretches/sleeping through the night. Any moms have experience with formula feeding at night and then pumping/bf during the day? Our nurse told us that formula takes longer to digest and keeps them full longer but I don’t want to introduce formula unnecessarily if it doesn’t work.
