My baby is a month old and currently sleeps at night for 3-3.5 hour stretches. She typically goes down to bed between 9 and 10, then wakes between 12:30 and 1:30 for first feeding, then 4-5 for second feeding. However, I am returning to work in about two weeks and I teach first grade, which is very demanding, as you can imagine. I know that sleeping for that length is typical for a baby so young, but is there any way I can get her to wake for her last night feeding earlier in the night? For instance, I'd like her to wake around 3 or so (or 5 am consistently would be great), but I don't want to get up more than I have to at night in order to feed (putting her to bed earlier but waking 3 or 4 times to eat). If she continues to wake around 4 to eat, which takes about an hour with feeding, burping, putting back down, then I will probably just stay up so I can get ready for work, but I'm worried about how this will wear on me.
Please help!! Going back to work has me stressed enough!
