Weird added AM feeding

[aluzitano]

Dd usually sleeps from 9:30 until 3 and then 3:15-5ish and then 5:15-7ish. Lately, though, she's been adding a 6am feeding after the 5am one and the getting up at 7:45 instead of 7. Would this be considered cluster feeding...? She only eats from one side until her 7am (or, nowadays, 7:45/8am) feeding where she eats from both. I've tried to get her to take both at all the feedings so maybe she'll sleep longer but she's out after eating from one side for only 10 min and nothing will wake her.

Mine does this. He eats at 7 or 8 am from one side or nibbles on the second, then sleeps for one hour and eats again. Like clockwork.

Hmm...interesting. I'll see what happens. I think it has something to do with the fact that my husband until 2 nights ago would give her a bottle in place of the 5am so she'd take a whole feeding whereas she falls asleep for me halfway through :-P we'll experiment and see if a bottle tomorrow AM gets her back on her normal schedule, or if she's just a grazer!

I attribute it to having more milk in the morning and LO feeling full faster but really not being full. Who knows. My LO is a crazy person so you're probably right haha
