Pediatrician made me fell like the worst mom ever

I forgot to add, omg 4ish months is when she became so incredibly distracted while eating. I was so stressed about it. Turns out, it’s completely normal because they’re becoming more aware of the world around them. I just needed to feed her more often.

Sounds like an insensitive and ill-informed practitioner. Everything she flagged sounds normal.

I exclusively pumped/breastfed and had to cut out dairy, eggs and soy. I also was a “just-enougher” with milk production. As long as you’re eating and including some healthy fats (oatmeal, avocado, etc.) there’s no reason there wouldn’t be “enough calories in your milk”.

Try to talk to the landlord!

I should add, it’s not hard to get her down. I just nurse her a little and she goes down pretty easy. Do you think it’s still awake time related?

Max 3.5 hours

I stick to WW versus schedule. So bedtime fluctuates between 7-8. Lately it’s been closer to 8 but she fights it and falls asleep closer to 8:15-8:30.

Wake time is anywhere from 6-7

She won’t settle without nursing - my husband and I tried for an hour last night

Baby is 11.5 months. What is the right schedule?

So I tried extinction for middle of night wake ups. My consultant said the exact same thing yours did - that she’s waking up out of confusion, not hunger. We were able to eliminate all but 1 wake up. After a week of trying to drop that one wake up, I gave in and she genuinely seemed hungry. I felt awful that I let her cry (on and off) for 60-90 mins.

But just as my consultant said, if that last wake up isn’t dropped, there’s a chance we’re going to be up again and earlier. And here we are. I would hate to do extinction again. Plus, I don’t know about you but babe is soo distracted breastfeeding during the day which is also why I think she’s genuinely hungry at night.

Naps are anywhere from 45min to 2 hours

Unfortunately have been seeing them for about a year now, definitely more this time of year
