So my DS 7wks old & we have been demand feeding. Unfortunately he doesn't give v.obvious hunger cues at all & often is crying by the time we get to him with the bottle.
I hate this & want to get to him before the crying happens.
However I find it really difficult when he's sleeping. Almost always he'll want a feed as soon as he wakes but although I might see him give sucking motions in his sleep, I've no idea when he'll wake up so don't know when to have his bottle warmed & ready! I could wake him but am loathe to do this as I think it's a bit mean, and also he's not a great napper so when he's finally asleep I want him to get the rest.
Just wondering how other people deal with this?
