And so all went extremely well in the first month until lately (at 6 weeks). Travis suddenly becomes super active at night and sleepy in the day. I have spent 3 nights in a row waking up at 2.30am and trying to pacify him to sleep until 5.30am. He can drink 2 feeds of 120ml within 2 hours to settle himself. It's bad. And then at 7am, he refuses to wake for his feed.. and at 10am, he's also too sleepy to take his feed.
My hypothesis:
Reverse clock syndrome and its a vicious cycle.
Day time - too sleepy to take enough feed.
Night time - slept too much in the day, very alert and hungry coz didnt drink enuf during the day.
My (hopefully) solution:
Make sure he takes a full feed in the day by pumping for every day feed.
Makes sure he is awake for the recommended hours in the day.
Hopefully he takes in enuf feed in the day, stays awake longer so that my night duty will be a breeze again... let's see what happens.
