Starting Ferber Method Tonight
I’m looking for advice... my son wakes up 3-5 times throughout the night and often drinks half to a full bottle each wake up in addition to a dream feed. We are starting the Ferber method and I’m not sure how many night feeds we should keep in our plan.
Here’s what happened last night:
Bed: 7:30pm (5oz before + 6oz at 6:30pm)
Dream feed: 9:45pm (3oz)
Woke up 10:30pm (3oz)
Woke up 1:00am (6oz)
Woke up 2:30am (1oz)
Woke up 5:00am (3oz)
*all middle of the night bottles offered were 4oz, so at 1am we had to get more
This baby also eats 40+oz and purees within 24 hours!!! So it has been HARD to get him eating most of that during the day. We always try to soothe him without milk, but it is not successful.
I’m thinking we could offer 6oz two times in the night such as 11pm and 3am. What do you guys think?
