I'd really like to get DD to drop some of her night feedings. At 7.5 months (and now eating a lot of solids), she should be able to go longer at night. Instead she's starting to stretch her day feedings out which is not really the desirable result...
Last night, her sleep looked like this:
8:30 - nursed to sleep
9:30 - sent DH in, she went back to sleep pretty fast
11:30 - nursed back to sleep
1 - awake and PISSED off that I wouldn't nurse her back down. Took almost an hour to get her back to sleep
3:30 - nursed back to sleep
6:30 - awake and hangry, nursed again
As you can see, I'm trying to skip the 1 AM feeding. I'm fine to wake up and nurse her once, was thinking that should be the 3:30 AM. What is the best technique to do this? Have her just keep being angry? Am I confusing her by sometimes feeding her and sometimes not?
