Hi there,
I not a frequent mums netter, but I would appreciate it if anybody had any ideas on this...
Our dd 5 months has always been a pretty good sleeper and we've got our little routine that works for us to a tee,moor used to.
We used to bath dd and feed her ( shes ff 6 ounces 3 hourly and fed pureed fruit at breakfast) at 6pm, and then she used to be tired for bed after the 6pm feed then sleep solidly until about 5am.
Lately dd doesn't seem to be tired at all after the 6pm feed and bath, and tonight we've tried letting her stay up later, and then giving her a later feed, but she wasn't interested in a later feed at all. She's been waking up at about 2am instead of her usual 5am- she's not crying at this point, just sort of babbling, but when I out the dummy back in she then cries because she's seen me. If I just leave her babbling in hope she will babble back to sleep, she does eventually cry for our attention. Wen I offer a bottle at this point, she does take it, but to be honest she does love her bottles!
We keep things calm, and she has been teething, but it doesn't seem to bother her that much, so I wonder what it is????
I go to bed pretty early anyway, so that in the event dd does wake early, ie had a good chunk of sleep before hand, so I'm in bed by 9.
Why do you think she's waking so early? I'm making sure she's full up during the day, and even to the point where she often fusses with one bottle during the day and leaves it sometimes, but apart from that she's usually fed at 5am, 9am, 12, 3pm, 6pm and also half a pouch of organic fruit purée for breakfast at 8. Am I doing anything wrong here, ??. I trying my best
Would be interested in any tips or if anybody has been through anything similar, and what has caused her to wake for no apparent reason so early.
Thanks so much,
Look foward to hearing...
