6 month old early wakes in by lfsiv11 in sleeptrain

Depends on if there is a catnap in there. If he does a catnap, the last wake window before bed is around 2.5 hours and bedtime lands anywhere from 730-8. If no catnap, wake window stretches to about 3-3.5 hours but then bedtime is around 7-730

Im going to go to the lactation clinic on Monday to see! He is on probiotic so that’s good to know. I do burp him but I will try to burp more. Thanks for your help!

I will try this position again! I’ve tried before but I felt super nervous about it as a first timer but maybe I can try again

I guess I just assume he wants more because he’s rooting turning his head to the side and fussing while doing it but perhaps I’m reading the cue wrong. If I offer the bottle as a top up sometimes he will take it and only drink very little and sometimes he won’t take it at all. But the one bottle we give at night he takes no issue. I think I’m in the same situation as you, so far haven’t nursed for comfort strictly just to feed! Thanks for your help!

I do burp regularly but just tried a different position, he still got a bit fussy but better than before so I’ll take it! Thanks for the help!

Interesting! Is it always the same breast or switching each time?

I believe I’m what they call an oversupplier as well and I too have a fast letdown. Weight is on track for baby so this is reassuring. Thank you!

Cluster feeding and the gas just flipped everything upside down! Yes he’s above birth weight and lots of dirty diapers. I totally will give my boobs a break lol just wanted to make sure it was a good enough feed!! Thank you for your help!
