But Ned now wakes up demanding (= screaming) his 11 pm feeding. And then another at 2:30-3 am and another at 4:30-5 am and then up for the day without eating much at 7 am. Sigh - it's like he's taken over Penny's middle of the night feeding. I've not been doing CIO at night because I want to check with their pediatrician but if he isn't eating at 7 am I'm tempted to let him cry at the 4:30/5 am hour. He goes four hours between feedings during the day but is now down to 2-3 hours at night. Not sure if this is just to torture me. Ned is always willing to eat if offered food so I can't tell what these wake ups are for.
My mom apparently bought this outfit for Ned but I think it looks girly so I've designated it for Penny. We saw tons of cute dresses on sale at the mall but I realized that Penny will be crawling soon enough and won't really be able to wear dresses until she can walk.

Have you considered putting him to bed with a camelback? A few minor modifications and he should be set for the night.
For God's sake, give the kid some rice cereal, preferably with some banana powder. . .I never had a kid that wasn't sleeping thru the night at three months! He's HUNGRY!! and forget what the pediatrician says--read Dr. Spock! I love you. .Mimi
I have the exact same outfit for my LO (the one Ned is wearing) for 6-9 mos! Oh, and contrary to your other commentor, my first DS started STTN at 6 mos and my DS2 still isn't STTN at 7 mos. He eats like a horse during the day (solids, breastmilk and some formula) so what works for one kid doesn't always work for another. JMHO
Yikes. That totally sucks. :( Any way to go back to what you were doing before that whole 11:00 feeding thing started? (Prolly not, but it was a thought...)
My mantra: It's just a phase, it's just a phase.
Logan's been waking up at 11:30 pretty much every night acting like he's dying of thirst. Joy :P
I'm guessing Aaron posted the first comment :-) Definitely his type of humor.
Oh no! Well, at least that's good news about Penny. I hope she continues to sleep through the night for you!
LOL Comment #1, you might be on to something...
Cutie pies!
Weissbluth really doesn't like the dream feed, although I know lots of people who swear by it. I think he believes it creates bad sleeping habits. Sorry you're discovering it doesn't work for Ned. There is supposed to be a 3 month sleep regression at night---perhaps that is what is happening? The good thing about sleep regressions is they sometimes fix themselves.
