Into the 4th month and not sleeping through yet..
Hi all,
Oliver is now into his 4th month and has only slept through a few times, when do they start sleeping through all the time?
He had a feed at midnight last night and thought it was time to play so at 2.30am my husband was still trying to get him to go down, very frustrating!
He is fed 210ml every 5 hours...any ideas welcome!
Thanks!
Taryn

I had 2 girls before him one of which slept at 4 weeks and the other who slept through from the night she was born so i think this is pay back for them being so good! xx
Tips I have been given....
Establish a good consistant bedtime routine. Bath, bottle in dim room and bed.
Put lo down in cot to settle themselves of to sleep so that if they wake at night they are able to settle themselves back to sleep again. Make sure when they fall asleep they will see the same things when they wake up
Make sure they are getting enough food during the day - cluster feed at bedtime - so lo might have two bottles closer together in the evening.
When they wake at night, keep it dark (we leave hall light on) and dont talk to lo. This helps them to learn difference between day and night.
Unfortunately for us.....It is natural for babies to wake up during the night!
Make sure, when you d see to her in the night, that you are relaxed and not tense cos ur lo has woken up. your lo will sense this.
When you feed him, does your lo have eye contact with you and is there a bright light on. These could both stimulate him tp be more awake. xxx

And she is nearly 7months old. How is this possible....
