LO is flirting with STTN. I know it's probably short-lived at this age (2 months) but I don't know what to do in terms of feedings when she doesn't eat all night.
Right now we nurse every 3 hours & she gets 1.5 oz of formula after (I have low supply). Usually that adds up to 8 feedings a day, two of those overnight. When she STTN, we skip two feedings. I get up & pump once to maintain my supply. Should I supplement more after nursing? Nurse more frequently? I don't really want to change our 3 hour schedule when we just established it. I was thinking of introducing a dream feed even though she doesn't seem to need it. She doesn't act any hungrier but I am nervous about her eating enough since we had weight issues early on.
My son actually slept better when he ate fewer times during the day than when I tried to push more on him - I think he just was hungrier each time then, and ate more.
