EBF's- Anyone else experience this?

DS STTN, wakes anywhere from 4:30am-6:30am to eat. Goes back to sleep, and when he wakes for the day does not want to eat. He is in a great mood, just not hungry. He will begin his E.A.S.Y routine without the E and be ready for a nap at the appropriate time. Once he wakes from his nap he is ready to eat. He is a moose, and is gaining more than enough weight. Anyone else?

    Yes! This made me realize that he doesn't need to eat in the middle of the night anymore. I have started reducing the amount he drinks in the middle of the night by 1 oz each night to hopefully eliminate that feeding so he will want to eat first thing in the morning! He doesn't seem to mind when I give him less in the night! What time does he wake up in the morning? My Ds wakes anywhere from 5:30-6:30 for the day and will have his first bottle, if he takes it that is! But he also wakes up 2x in the night to eat, so that is why I am trying to eliminate those feedings.?

    That's what I did and it worked well for us. DD just made that one feeding progressively later until she was waking up for the day ready to eat.

    My DD does this. What time does your LO go to bed? She gets up around 4 to eat and goes down at 8 and am wondering if I should try eliminating the 4am feeding.

    I use formula now, but my son is the same way - he eats in the middle of the night, but when he wakes for the day he's not interested in eating at all.  I think it's pretty normal for babies to have a lower appetite at teh start of the day?

    Right now he is going down around 8-8:30pm. He is one of those that just refuses to go down any earlier. Waking time in the mornings varies. When I work, he comes to work with me so he is awake at 7:30am. When I am home he sleeps from the wake at 4-5am until 9-10:30am. There is a solid amount of time between the early morning feeding and his wake time. I guess he takes after my husband, and does not have an appetite upon waking. For me, however, as soon as my feet hit the floor I need to eat!
