A growth spurt/ CIO?

Okay for those of you who may remember CIO worked beautifully for us and we have had babies sleeping through for almost 3 weeks now!! Well for the last three nights the girls a have been going down at 8:30 and getting up at 6 am to eat but going right back down until 8 or 9 AM!! I think they may be growth spurting and maybe need to eat OR are they just getting spoiled and into a habit of waking at 6. Do I need to be making them CIO until they are up for good for the day? I just hate to start a visous (sp?) cycle and end up having to CIO all over again later down the road!!! OH and I have to add they are going down awake now and falling asleep without crying!!!!!!

PS they were getting up about 7:30AM and staying up before these last three days.

 

830 to 6 is really good! I think I would go ahead and feed them, and hopefully they will stretch it again out on their own. Congrats on CIO success!

 

I would err on the side of feeding them. They're still really young - I think even Weissbluth thinks it's legit for babies to need a night feeding up to 9 mo.

 

Thank you that was my plan... I really think they are needing a feeding then. Anyway I am finding myself missing all that alone time rocking in the chair in the dark middle of night... I knew I would miss it!!!

 

Mine are doing the same thing so hopefully its okay!

 

I would feed them if they're taking a good-sized bottle. They must be hungry.

They are nursing... but they really really really get a good feed in at 6 am. Thanks for the advice ladies.
