hi there mommies.. Me again
My gal is now 3mths 2 weeks, weighing at 7.2kg at her last chkup. I put her to bed at around 7-8pm, usually I nurse her to La-La Land. She usually will sleep thru to about 4-5am and will wakeup. If she wakes up and does not cry for food BUT she makes this really LOUD sucking sounds on her hands, shud I pick her up & feed her or shud I jus let her be ie sucks her hand back to sleep if she doesn't cry? I read tat babies at her weight shud be able to sustain 7pm to 7am (she already had abt 5-6feeds in the day) so I'm not sure if I shud still pick her up to feed if she's really hungry or just relying on my breast to fall asleep again. Sometimes its even earlier around 3am. If she whimpers I'd pick her up and feed (on demand) but I'm unsure if she really needs it. Shud I jus pat her back to sleep? She usually will cry despite patting and me mindful of disturbing my mom and my neighbour (HK have really thin walls!) I would pick her and feed her back to sleep cos I can't bear to see her cry. I'm worried of cultivatng a bad habit cos I heard a fren's son STILL waking up for feeds even at 13mth old for no apparent reason, simply out of habit. Comments & advices pls? Thanks
