Ok, we’re tired. When Emily had dropped her 2am feed we had to stay up till 10pm or we would sleep through the alarm and she’d wake up starving in the middle of the night. Worse, she’d be bad all the next day. Luckily she dropped her 10pm feed 2 weeks after the 2am feed.
So far, we’ve been able to wake up to a 10pm alarm with Isaac which is good because it lets us get an extra hour or two of sleep. Last night that ended. I do remember the alarm going off and I think I even got the sheet off of me but I never actually got out of bed and neither did Bree (but I think she thought I’d gone and fed him). At 12am I woke up wondering why Isaac wasn’t crying but I still didn’t have the energy to get out of bed. I figured he’d cry soon and that would force me to get out of bed.
Isaac didn’t wake up till 5am. I was still unable to move so Bree fed him. He’s been good today so I’m almost tempted to think he’s ready to drop that feed. However, he’s only taking 120ml each feed and 480ml total in a day seems like not enough. Mind you, he was taking less than 100ml when he dropped the 2am feed and increased his meal size over a few days.
I think we’ll keep getting him up at 10pm for a while yet. If he’s serious about dropping that feed now, he can just be like Emily and refuse to eat.
