3 months and back to 3 hourly feeds 24/7 !

OMG

I don't know whats gone wrong but Lucas is now looking for feeds every 3 hours or before !!!

Yesterday it was barely 2 1/2 hours and he was screaming the house down, this goes on throughout the day and night.

I feed him myself apart from the last feed of the night about 10.30 which is formula (he goes 4 hours off the FF) He feeds off both sides everytime.

I really don't know what im doing wrong. To start with I thought he was just getting tired but then the screams kick in and refuses dummy so its pretty obvious he is hungry.

Also not sure if this is related but the other night he was sound asleep then literally started screaming (still asleep) he only stopped crying when I fed him.

Any advice ?

It may be the three month growth spurt

Toby fed every 90 minutes for a week, and now is feeding every 2-3 hours, day and night.

We're the same at the moment hon, yesterday I was barely getting 2 1/2 hours out of her. She goes from 8.30pm to about 3am at night and then we're back to every 3 hours again. Really hoping it's the growth spurt and not a new sleep pattern

Snap! Here's hoping it's a growth spurt xxx

Im am so pleased that im not the only one, its been about a week so far so hopefully a few more days and we will back to some sort of 'normality'

I could have written this!! Ellis had feeds at 7pm, 9.30pm, 2am, 4.30am and 6am last night. I was hoping it was because he hardly slept yesterday but then 3 month growth spurt seems obvious as he fed at 12pm, 2pm, 3.30pm and 5pm this afternoon and guzzeled a 8oz FF at 8pm.

This sounds how Olivia was a week or so ago, at least 4 or 5 feeds through the night. Thankfully she has now dropped most of the night feeds and now only wakes at 2.00am then 6.00am!! xx

Jack has always fed every 2 hours during the day, but was going about 5 hours at night. But this stopped at 3 months and he was feeding every 3 hours at night and still is.
