DS is almost 5 months and over 18lbs and I have his daytime naps down to a fine art and bedtime isnt too bad...but the night wakings are becoming a problem and I could do with some advice on re-settling.
I give DS a final feed at about 10.30 when I go to bed and he usually wakes up again between 2-3am. I try to settle him without feeding by holding his hands and more recently, giving him a dummy. I don't feel that he needs to feed at this time as he's a good feeder in the day and us just in a pattern of getting food every 4 hours. So I keep resettling until 4-5am where I do feed him with the long term goal of moving this feed later and later until he's doing 11-7 (yeah right!)
Am I completely barking up the wrong tree here? We're due to begin weaning in a couple of weeks and then I guess he'll move to his own room so I'm sure that will change everything but for now I really feel like I need to break the 3am feed habit...
Any ideas much appreciated!!!
