what's ur 5 mo. old sleep pattern?

Leslie & Erik

I breastfeed my baby & I am not sure if she is getting enough through out the day. She goes to sleep at 8:30 & wakes up twice to eat at night and wakes up around 7:30-8:30. HELP!!!

 AM I THE ONLY ONE?

My 5 mo old DD goes to bed between 6:30-7:30pm and sleeps till 7:00-8:00am, no wakings.  She nurses about every 3 hours and we've been doing rice cereal once a day about an hour after her late afternoon feeding.  DH puts her to bed with a 8oz bottle of EBM.

DS is doing about the same as yours is now.  He was only waking up about once per night, but now he is teething so he gets up usually twice and only nursing puts him back to sleep.  I am surprised at the poster that says her DC gets an 8 oz bottle,  Ds has has never taken more than 6 ozs at once, usually only 5 oz and he is a big boy at 17 lbs already.

chigirlina: that's exactly what I am saying. I don't think my daughter could even eat 6 oz. at a time. My dd was only waking up at 4:00 am. So once through the night as well. Now she get's up twice and I think it's the teething thing too. She soaks her onsie bad and it get's worse at night. B/c when she is getting up at night she puts her face down on the crib sheet (like it relieves the pressure from her mouth).

He sleeps at around 8 PM and wakes up at 6-7 AM no wakings.  During the day he'll eat every 3 hours (about 6 oz) and he takes 3 scoops of cereal twice a day...his last feeding, he'll BF but then I'll give him as much as he wants of extra frozen BM or formula (my supply isn't great...by night time, I have nothing).
