My now 4-month old daughter has been sleeping through the night since she was 3 weeks old up until recently. (This was no surprise as my first-born started sleeping through the night around 5 weeks. They were both bigger newborns (8.5lbs and 9.5lbs), with comparatively larger stomachs for their ages.) For the past 2 weeks or so, she has been waking up every 3 hours on the dot, so I nurse her back to sleep, assuming she's hit a growth spurt. I've noticed that she is eating less during the day now, and I'm not sure how to get her back on track. She doesn't have any wake periods at night, other than her waiting for food. Anyone have any suggestions as to why she's doing this, and how I can help her sleep for longer periods of time like before. She used to sleep from 8pm to 6am with only occasional wakings- like once a week or less.
