One step forward 2 steps back....
So I posted the yesterday how Hailey slept finally through the night. Well last night she did not. Not even close. She seems to wake up every 3 hours to eat. Mind you, she weighs a little more than 15 pounds and is only 5 months. She is a little bruiser! She should be able to skip a meal by now!!!!!!
Usually they eat every 4 hours so why is she s*cking down 8 oz bottles every 3????
She does eat very well during the day and that includes the cereal/fruit and veggies!
I don't know how to get her to five up a feeding 
My son weighs about 13 and change and he sleeps all the way through!

No advice, just hugs. 
Maybe she likes her alone time with Mommy in the middle of the night.

Have you tried to let her CIO? I know it's hard since she shares a room w/ her brother.

I have tried the CIO - but they both don't stop crying (it seems)- they get to the point where they are choking and can't breathe 
So for me, thats not an option.

Re: One step forward 2 steps back....
Honestly, I know a lot of people/Dr's swear that once a baby reaches a "magic" weight they need less food, but I don't think it's always true. Sometimes I think young babies that are heavier have higher calorie needs and will be up all the time to get what they need.
I can only send you hugs, because I have the same problem.
