LO wants to add an extra feeding at night.

Ok for the last month or so DD has slept from 9/10pm to around 4am ate then went back to sleep until 6am. Perfect!! For the last two weeks she has decided that she now wants to wake up at 2am and 4am to eat. After we feed her she does back to sleep. I go back to work in less then two weeks and I really want her to cut out her 2am feeding and go back to her normal routine. She is EBF and weighs almost 12 pounds she almost 10 weeks old. Every night we do the same thing bath, lotion, jamies, white noise, and then I nurse her to sleep. Any advise or are my expectations set to high? I don't expected her to STTN completely I would just really like her to cut her 2am feeding.

She could be going through a growth spurt, or a Wonder Week, or just be hungry. Try upping her intake during the day, to cover what she would miss overnight.
