I've been reticent to start dinner bc it'll cut into DHs playtime since LO starts bath at 530, but I might next week. O course after I posted this and Stayed up until 11 he only woke once at 2. Babies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-934170 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:11:10 +0000 kml636 934170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although it goes against the advice in every nursing book, I heard lots of advice on giving her a big "dinner" to get her to sleep. It seems to work if I spoon feed her rice cereal and something else around 5. Try it? Like everything else, could also be a coincidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-934126 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:55:37 +0000 immabeetoo 934126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Another thing I kinda thought ended after the early days... but would make sense! If it is, I hope I don't end up having to buy yet another size of summer clothes :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-934112 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:49:35 +0000 hilsy85 934112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would guess coincidence...maybe a growth spurt? Which might explain his increased interest in solids as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-934106 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:48:14 +0000 immabeetoo 934106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: Interesting.. I had stopped paying attention to wonder weeks after the early days! And you're so right.. I'm pretty sure I said as much a few weeks ago haha. I think I'm going to just roll with it for a while longer and hope it goes away naturally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-932784 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:35:25 +0000 NovBaby1112 932784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm that's strange...I don't think they are related though. My LO started waking up twice a night right around that time too but I chalked it up to wonder week 37 (it starts as early as 32 weeks and lasts a few weeks). She is now back down to 1 night feed. I think it lasted about a week for us? I'm at the point where I have just stopped trying to figure out her sleep lol, it seems like it is always something! Once we have a good routine/sleep down, something always comes up and disrupts it! Hopefully he will drop that 2nd feed soon though- I would give it a week and then maybe see if you can try a gentle weaning method instead... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-932697 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:13:38 +0000 immabeetoo 932697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: whoa mama you have some serious patience!! good thing she's so cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-932368 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:05:50 +0000 travelgirl1 932368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give breakfast and dinner and nurse around 2/3 times after midnight. But her sleep was crappy anyway so not sure it was related to solids :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-a-second-solids-meal-adding-a-second-night-nursing#post-932348 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:02:33 +0000 immabeetoo 932348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7.5 months and had been EBF. At 7 months he started to show more interest in eating solids, and this past week I added on a breakfast meal (to his pre-existing lunch). Concurrently, he has been waking up around 11 and then again around 2 and insisting he needs to eat. Nothing else has changed except adding the second meal of solids.</p> <p>Is this just coincidence? Has anyone else had this happen?? He normally nursed once at night around 2ish and then was fine. When I just soothe him and put him back in sleepy around 11, he falls asleep and wakes back up in 30 minutes. He isn't nursing to sleep - he goes back in sleepy but awake.</p> <p>Thoughts?? </p>
