2am -530am party time apparently 💤… tips on how to break the cycle

Hi all Just looking for advice. I currently have a 4 week old and of course I’m not expecting to be in a sleep routine just ye, she is brand new and we are both adjusting. However , we are pretty regular every 3-4 hours feeds 4oz. However, the 2am one strikes and she is up then for 2.5 hours and continuing to cry for food. I have started increasing this feed slightly by an oz but bless her we just can’t settle her at this time. We change, feed, wind Rock and lullaby but she just stays so unsettled. I just don’t know what else we can do, but this has been the pattern now for 2 weeks. Anyone have any tips for me? Thanks so much

I believe it's colic , I'll try giving the baby some colic drops/gripe water at the last feed before the 2 am one and see if that helps x

It's probably an imbalance of day and night sleep. From about 6 weeks they start to get hormones telling them day from night but I would look to follow a schedule for naps, it's hard to implement anything properly for maybe another 4 weeks but I found it helped to get into a routine as soon as we could
