Any ideas - sleep related.
in Baby
OK so we do have LO in a pretty good bedtime routine at the moment - he sleeps well, still takes a while to settle but it is improving everyday!
However, his night waking are very confusing and I struggle to work out if he is waking for food or out of habit.
We have two different scenarios that happen at the moment.
Scenario 1 - He feeds between 6.30 - 7pm (asleep by 8 at absolute latest). Then he sleeps right through until 2.15amish (so thats about 7 hours!).
So I thought - well if I DF then he shuld go further through the night? That didn't work out though!
Scenario 2 - Feeds same time, dreamfeed about 11pm (we have tried various different times though some later some earlier). He then wakes between 3.30am and 4.30 am. On occasions he has even woken at 2.30am!! Now that is only abnout 5 hours.
I know he is capable of going longer. When he wakes up he will take most of the bottle - but fusses around a bit with breakfast - so i am sure if I can get him to go longer then he will have all his breakfast without much fussing.
Any ideas?

My LO has feed at 6.15pm asleep by 7.00pm. I wake him at 10.30 for a full feed asleep by 11.00pm.
He then sleeps solidly until 4.00am and then wakes up but just fusses and drifts in and out of a very light sleep. He never actually cries so I just leave him.
His morning feed is at 7.00am which he is ready for...
Now sleeping 8.30pm till 5.30am feed then till 8am so im hoping eventually he willl miss this feed completely
I am currently trying the baby whisperer PU/PD method for daytime naps so I may feed him at 11pm tonight and then when he wakes up try this method first, see if i can make him go a bit longer.
Hope we get sorted.We both seem to have similar probs
