thanks

BUT he's started waking early again the last couple of mornings, we had a 4.30am on Sunday! He doesn't cry, he's just up and awake. His routine's been a bit disrupted over the weekend, could it just be that?
Thanks

My son is 19 weeks old and has never been one of these babies that sleeps through the night!!
However, he used to just wake up once a night to be fed and would be back asleep in 20 minutes. Over the last few weeks though he has started waking every hour or so and sometimes will then be awake for a good hour and a half!! He will fall asleep the minute I pick him up but scream when I put him down - this happens no matter where I put him to sleep.
Have tried teething gel, calpol, checking if it is wind, checked if he was too hot/cold and we just can't figure out why he is waking up.
We started weaning after this started hapening too but it hasn't made a difference.
With regard to your your little girl, is she cranky and tired all day or does she seem to be fine on the odd cat nap grabbed here and there?

erm re my daughter, she's currently happily cooing away in her cot, which is all well and god, but yet she' sonly had a total 20minutes sleep in the last 5hours...although she is starting to get cranky now, but she's been quite happy for the last 10minutes or so.

He goes to sleep no problem - pretty set routine he has his bottle at about 6.30 and then falls asleep straight away after - sometimes he will be dosey when I put him in the cot other times he has already fallen asleep before I have had chance to put him in the cot - he will then sleep quite happily until about 1am and that is when it all starts.

Last night he the lassdted til 4am at which point I fed him and went down until 5.30.
The night before he woke up at 3am though and didn't go back to sleep until 4.30.
1. Make sure that he goes down awake at bedtime every night. If he is either asleep or very drowsy then he maybe struggling to fall asleep when he wakes as part of his natural sleep cycle.
2. When he wakes in the night, try not to pick him up, but reassure him in the cot. Stay next to him, but keep interaction to a minimum - if he does need that pick up in order to get back to sleep, this should help him learn that he actually doesn't.
Good luck with it - what is suggested above is no instant solution, but if you persevere it should work. Remember, the www.pamper.co.uk/goldensleep is packed with information to help you.
