So R is 8.5 months old and has previously STTN on occasion, but was pretty consistent with one night wake up from about 6 months to 8 months. i was hoping we were on our way to STTN by dropping that one MOTN wake up.

BUT then she went to regularly 2 naps and bc we were doing EASY for so long, she is only nursing 4 times during the day.... and then started adding another night wake up. she will only go back to sleep if she gets a full nursing session in. i tried cutting them short, etc, but she would scream bloody murder if she didn't stop on her own.

at first, i attributed this to the four (!!) top teeth that are working their way out right now, but as i thought more about it, the 2nd night wake up coincided with the regular dropping of the 3rd nap (and thus a drop of a day nursing sesssion).

i'm going to try to get her 6 sessions in during the day (instead of 4 during the day and 2 overnight) for the next week and see what happens to the MOTN wake ups, but i wondered if others saw this happen too.

so, my question, if you made it this far, is: if your LO is STTN, how many times during the day do you nurse to make sure they're getting enough? also, how old is your LO?
