my almost 12 week old is still waking up 3 times a night to feed....i feel like I am doing something wrong as I am seeing so many moms with LOs the same age or younger sleeping for 8+ hours a night! we have a bedtime routine and put her down around 7/7:30pm, and then she proceeds to wake at 10-11ish, 2-3ish, and then again at 5-6ish...and then sleeps until 730/8.

I am just so confused because when she was 6 weeks old she would sleep from 10pm to 4am and then again until 730! it seems like she slept longer when she had a later bedtime, but I am going back to work in a few weeks and would like to keep the earlier bedtime (plus i heard somewhere that babies sleep better and longer with an earlier bedtime). but that doesnt seem to be the case with us.

is this normal or am i the only one??? when will her sleep improve? i try to get her to eat more throughout the day, but when she is not hungry I cannot force her. when she wakes at night, she does seem hungry though, and eats a good amount from one side, so I am reluctant to let her cry or anything like that...is there anything I can do to wean her from at least 1 of those feeds??
