Sleeping issues. What can we do?
Hi ladies,
Luke is 8 weeks old and we are following the easy routine by the baby whisperer. This has been working fab for us, however night times are a bit of an issues.
Luke goes to bed at 7:30 no problem at all. He then wakes between 11-12ish for his next feed. We have tried a dreamfeed but this does not work. After this feed he will normally go another 4 hour until 3 or 4. However after this feed he will go back down but will then wake every half an hour. He will sometimes strain but its as if he thinks its time to get up. Sometimes we can get him back down but within 20mins or so he is wide awake again. He isnt hungry as he will happily wait until 7am for his next feed. My husband ends up getting up with him as none of us get any sleep due to the noise. I just worry that it cant be good for him waking so early?
Has anyone else experienced this? Or has any ideas how we can get him to go back down after his last feed until at least 6ish?
Many thanks D xxx

my lo (now 16months) would never sleep for long periods in the basket he would just kick his arms and legs about an scream but same as yrs he would settle straight away in my bed so i put him in his cot and he slept for much longer. dont know whether it was the extra room or whether he just didnt like his basket but it worked!
good luck.x
