Mamas, I need sleep help! Here's Dove's routine (since she was about 7 weeks old): Asleep by 8:30, wakes up at 1am to…

@ananasbaby, usually 30 mins to an hour before that.

what time does she eat before she goes to sleep at 8.30? because it does seem to me that 8.30- 1 is quite long of she comes again 2 hours after at 3 pm.

@irenevega, very true!

@mrsstewart, yep. She won't start any solids until 6 months at the earliest. She had a bad salmonella infection at 18 days old and was hospitalized for 2 weeks. She's had a lot of GI issues since then, so her dr is very cautious about starting foods, even cereal. I wish I could, tho!

Better to be safe

@irenevega, that's kinda what I'm thinking, too.

I wouldn't push it If she's not gaining as much weight as she should be

Have you talked to her Dr. about a little cereal? Some recommend it if they're behind on weight because it helps them gain a little... I put my daughter on rice cereal when she was 2 and half months at night just so she wouldn't feel so empty when she woke up in the morning. But it cam also help their tummies stay full longer.
