I'd think if yours isn't getting enough, he'll stop sleeping through. Here's to STTN! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714262 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:48:30 +0000 edelweiss 714262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: i actually really appreciate you mentioning knowing people who do 4 feedings and their LO's sleep through the night--we'll figure out what works for us, but i was really worried that 4x/day and STTN was cruel and unusual punishment, so it's reassuring to hear that it does work for some folks. thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714253 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:42:12 +0000 mrsjyw 714253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Ds started sttn at 12 wks. Sinilar to you only had one night feeding prior to that. He feeds every three hours and takes in 5 oz, whereas before it was every 3-4 4 oz each </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714233 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:30:58 +0000 tysonja 714233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: sounds promising! :)<br /> similar to highwire, my LO at that age probably still ate around 6 times a day. but i have friends who cut down to 4 hours in between feedings (and EBF and sttn) and they did fine, as well :) i guess whatever works for you guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714227 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:27:36 +0000 edelweiss 714227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: good to know, i'll have to consider both options--thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714226 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:26:51 +0000 edelweiss 714226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: thanks! he gets 1 bottle per day and will get 2 at daycare, so i'll increase the amount and see how it goes. i'll also see if his nursing sessions are longer--so far today they've been a few minutes longer than usual, i hope that continues and means he's getting enough. </p> <p>i'm happy about the possible STTN--especially since his napping is pretty rough, it's nice to get a break at night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714215 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:18:14 +0000 DillonLion 714215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I added more during the day. LO STTN and eats 5-6x a day during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714214 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:16:36 +0000 tysonja 714214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay STTN! :)</p> <p>normally i'd say not to add any feedings, but since as you said 4 feedings a day is on the lower side, maybe you could add one? i'm not sure how you would increase the amt per feeding if you are EBF, but if you were bottle feeding i would increase the amt instead of adding a feeding :) </p> <p>just my 2 cents! :) hehe... </p> <p>when our LO began STTN at 3 months, he only dropped feeds and increased slightly in volume. he was BF but also heavily supplemented with formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-started-sttn-did-you-increase-amount-andor-frequency-of-feedings#post-714208 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:11:55 +0000 edelweiss 714208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 3-month old LO seems to be moving towards sleeping through the night--he kept waking up later and later for his 1 night feeding, and last night he slept until i woke him up for the day.</p> <p>he is EBF (nursing and bottle). right now during the day he eats every 4 hours, so 4 times a day. now that he might be dropping his night feeding, i'm worried that he won't get enough to eat during the day (i know that 4 hours is on the longer side of the spectrum).</p> <p>when your LO started STTN, did any of you increase the number of day feedings, or did the amount/time of each feeding just increase? </p>
