about Monday's Musings, but it was a busy night with Halloween.
This little boy is no where close to sleeping through the night. No matter how much I feed him before he goes to bed, we wakes up 3 hours later to eat again. Ahhhhhh!! Can't I get like 6 hours already? Habit?? Any advice from you expert Mom's out there. Is it too early to start letting him cry it out. It's tough because maybe he really IS hungry. And last night I swear he woke up like every two hours to get his binky back or to be fed at some point. I'm going slightly crazy and I'm so sleep deprived.
Can't believe it's November first. I'm almost 30!!! Woah. Bring it on! The twenties were pretty dang good. I think I'll go have Cheesecake Factory for my birthday dinner and get the chicken Bellagio!!! Yum.
I've started training and old client/friend again and boy do I miss training. I really enjoy working people out. I'm hoping that during the spring I can start up a boot camp again.
I'm tired. I can't go on. Goodnight.

If he's waking up for comfort/sucking then what you can do is time how long he is at each breast for- say 10 minutes then reduce the time by 1 minute every 3 days. I find when they get down to around 4 minutes they start sleeping through the night.
If you do that start with the latest (ie-early morning) feeding and work backwards.
If he's waking up because he is truly hungry maybe it is a growth spurt- they tend to have one around 3 months.
Good luck- hope you get some sleep!
I don't think it is ever too soon to let them cry it out. My sister in law told me to give him the binki first. If he continues to cry after the binki, then you know he is hungry. That is what helped us get through our nights with Cameron. He was waking up out of habit instead of hunger. Try it and see. Good luck!
