My dd naps fairly well during the day, she starts to get sleepy after 1.5 / 2hrs after being awake and settles well in her cot for a nap. She sleeps anything from 30 to 45 mins before waking.
She therefore has approx. 4 naps a day, totally around 3 hrs and settles well for bed at aprox. 7pm. She sleeps well and I feed her at 10.30pm, she settles again well and wakes for a feed between 2 and 3am. The problem is that she then wont settle after the 3am feed and is often up and wringling and squarking until I get her up at 7am, she then wont take her 7am feed.
She is 4.5 months and I don't mind feeding her at 3am but do mind her not settling again after it. Could the poor sleeping during the day be having an effect? She is formula feed and I'm worried that she's ready to drop a feed but has choosen to drop the 7am instead of the 3am.
Has anyone had a simlar experience and what can I do about it? Thanks for any advice you can give me.
