My 7 week old daughter has just started going 5-6 hrs without a feed when she goes to bed (yay!). She always does this long sleep right when she goes to bed, so she sleeps from 8/9pm-2am, but then she only goes 3 hrs until the next feed (5 am), then goes back to sleep and is up again to eat in 1.5-2 hrs when we get up for the day (around 6:30/7am). Why can she go so long without eating at the beginning of the night, but then can only go 1.5 hrs between feeds by the end of the night? I don't mind getting up to feed her, I am getting plenty of sleep, but she is grumpy in the morning and I think it's because she is tired and didn't get enough sleep since she was last up. Is there any way I can encourage her to sleep longer between feeds in the wee hours of the morning, or do I just wait it out until she does it on her own like she did when she dropped her 11 pm feed on her own?
