Waking in the early hours (also in Baby)
Hello Ladies,
I have been very lucky in the fact that my DD has pretty much slept through the night from about 8 weeks. She is now 14 weeks and over the last 5 days has been waking up several times from about 3am onwards (although this morning is was from 2am). I don't think she is actually awake and it's not proper crying, it's more like grumbling and short crying out spells. All I do is make sure she has her muslin square in her arms (as she loves to cuddle it) and give her back her dummy. But as soon as she starts falling back to sleep and her dummy falls out it starts again. Yesterday, I got up about 10 times to put her dummy back in. She never opens her eyes so she is not fully awake. I don't think it's hunger because she normally gets up between 6 & 6.30 and by the time I've heated her feed and changed her nappy she is ready to be fed because she starts showing signs of hunger (getting grisley, chewing on her hands). She's well structured in her routine, playtime, bath time, bottle and bed (and I always put her down awake and she is very good at getting herself to sleep). She goes down about 8.30pm - 9.00pm.
Is there anything I'm not doing wrong or should change? Or does anyone have any suggestions / advice?
Thanks
Kim
