Sleep schedule changed suddenly?

My LO has been sleeping at night like a champ. 9:30p to 5a every nigh for weeks nowt, sometimes until 7a. All of a sudden the past three nights he has been getting up at 3a needing a feeding.

What gives? Do we need to make sure he gets a little more food at the last feeding before bed maybe? We have been giving him 2 ounces in a bottle with his zantac and then he goes on breast.

Or maybe it's just a growth spurt, I suppose.

Any thoughts?

Re: Sleep schedule changed suddenly?

  • I think there's a 3 month growth spurt, so it could be that! I know when DS went through his 3 week gs all he did was eat, eat, eat. And cry. Give it a few days and see if it changes back!

  • I could have written this! Same thing here. I have no idea why she is doing this either, we haven't changed anything. I'm hoping it's just an off week or something and she goes back to how she was!

  • This is me too! It is driving me crazy, last night she woke up three times when she was sleeping through the night. Ugh!
  • It certainly couldn't hurt to increase the amount he gets at his last feeding.  DD started waking up a little earlier than usual so I added an extra ounce to her last feeding.  She seemed like she was still hungry, so I figured she probably needed it and I think it's helped her get back to her normal sleep pattern.  Good luck!

  • I'm inclined to think it's a growth spurt. You may just have to ride it out.
