My little girl is driving me demented. She has decided that during the day she will only feed straight before a sleep, and not when she wakes.

This is a total PITA as going out then becomes an issue cause she is crap at feeding in strange places, and giving her food is a pain cause upon waking she is not interested, and trying later she still isnt (we do BLW).

She lies there on the floor doing her hungry signs then wont feed. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

DS went through this at about the same age. He became too distracted to feed anywhere other than in the dark and quiet of our bedroom. So, I just went with it. Even now he feeds much better before a nap when he's nice and relaxed and will often only feed for a few minutes at a time when out and about.
She won't starve herself though, she will probably make up for the missed feeds at night. Well, thats what DS did anyway. And as much as the constant night wakings suck, it is just a phase and won't last forever.

We def get making up for feeds at night! I'm at a loss currently as to if I should up her day feeds in the hope it lessens her night ones... 6 times a night is just crazy when she only does 3-4 during the day! But the day time she is just so darn nosey and blankets over the head don't work now she's unswaddled (she just pulls them off!) but hates being swaddled *sigh* Babies!!!

Lily is feeding the same though, before a sleep and not when she wakes or anything else iygwim! We do BLW too but she is interested in eating and the feeding before sleep thing only happened at about 7.5 months.

Cooper was the same and had to be swaddled and in a dark room or he wasn't interested. I remember at the time I'd start his feed in the lounge and then move into the room and then tried to widen the gap and offered a few times etc.. until he was having pretty much all his milk out in the lounge and only a sip to go to sleep - and at this point I dropped the bedroom feeding.    Now some how we've got back into the only before a nap feed.
