Hi ladies

My lo is 9 weeks old today. she sleeps in our room in her cot bed as got too big for moses basket and kept bashing herself!! since 6 weeks we have been doing bath, bottle and bed routine. usually around 7.30pm - 8.30pm depending on her feeding pattern for that day. She seems to know it's bedtime and goes down really easily from the feed. At 6 weeks she would go down for 6-7 hours then need a feed and go off for about another 3-4 now though it seems to be becoming a struggle to get her to last just five hours then she wants approx 3-3.5 ounces and then only off for a max of 3 hours before feeding again. am getting up at about 1.30am and the dreaded 4-4.30am and am knackered. she's quite a noisy baby when she sleeps anyway so am only getting about 4 hours a night.

She doesn't want to take any more feed before bed ( approx 4- 4.5 ounces) of aptamil so I was wondering if anyone had any tips to getting her to go longer. what about the hungry baby stuff? do you think this might satisfy her longer if we just used that at night time?? I am leaving her in her bed to settle herself when she's restless and only go to her after she starts crying big hungry cries.

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks
