Altering Sleep Schedule

[Parrothead]

Hi-

DD is 3.5 weeks old and is BFing. She has always been somewhat of a "sleepy baby" and I have woken her every 3 hours to eat during the day. At night, I'd feed her on demand, which was usually every 3.5 to 4 hours.

In the last few days, I have continued the day time wakings every 3 hours, but now she is getting up every 2 hours at night (1am, 3am, 5am) to eat.

Is she mixing up days and nights? How can I get her to go back to having her longer sleeps at night?

THANKS!!!!

She's probably going through a growth spurt. They often increase feedings in order to up your supply. Stick with it, it will probably last a few days. Then if you're lucky she'll go back to sleeping for longer stretches.
