Hi there, just wondering how you are getting on with your early wakings? I hope your LO has settled back into the good sleeping pattern they already had!
My LO has not had any night feeds for 3 consecutive nights now, which is great news. He has woke at 5am every day but I've left him to either settle back (did this yesterday until 7.30) or lie until 6am, when I just get up with him. It's still very early days but things do seem to be improving nicely.
Anyway do hope all is well with you, take care xx

That's brilliant news! You'll feel a much more refreshed and rejuvenated woman not having to get up to feed. They all get there in the end....Thomas went through a very similar thing to get to where he is now. He is still waking at 5.50am but re-settling himself to 6.45am. He doesn't even whinge but by that point I'm ready to get up.I was out Wed night for a friends birthday meal and he let me sleep till 7.15am. I was very thankful as the last time I was out he had me up at 5am and would NOT re-settle! The following day was a very long day!
Now he's done it for 3 nights chances are he will continue doing it as it's the pattern he's become accustomed too.
Well done little man - keep it up for mummy!! xx
Just out of interest, did you tweak his naps and did you find this helped? x
He's been a struggle to get down tonight, although I've just left him moaning and he's going off now at 8.20, last few nights it's been more like 7.45-8.
I can't tell you how good it feels not having to get up and feed in the night and I just pray he doesn't take a step backwards. About a month ago he lulled me into a false sense of security, slept through 3 nights on the trot and then got far worse than ever! Fingers crossed this is just the beginning xx
It's so difficult isn't it, you just think they're twisting over nothing, if only they came with a book! I did a similar thing with my LO, then realised he had a tooth through which must have been the bother.
It's the same with weaning, all we seem to do all day long now is feed. I've no idea if I'm doing it right, some times he can't get it quick enough and other times he's not bothered at all. I'm sure we'll get there.
He has dropped his milk intake but I still feed him 4 times a day as we've been on 4 hourly feeds for a few months now. But I'm sure this will reduce further, poor man will balloon if he keeps taking so much food before being active xx
Think will start with dropping the morning and see how we go. Am sure the little man will tell me if he's not happy with the arrangement!!!
Oh the joys of weaning!!! xx
