7mo is waking once at 10.30pm and once at about 4am after being put down at 7pm. We're not looking to sleep train (as mentioned in my previous thread) but obviously in an ideal world we would try and stop the 4am wake/breastfeed. She's 'waking' from a combination of crawling in her sleep and bumping her head but also just habit I think. The issue is that she's not fully waking, so the hush/pat method and no cry sleep solution aren't cutting it. I don't want to do sleep training either but I don't think it would work anyway as she's not waking so can't self settle (I don't think?).
I know I can fully wake her and then resettle but that involves at least twenty minutes of her screaming blind in my arms while I try and get her awake properly. Thus waking everyone in the house.
