My 4 month old dd has been a good sleeper so far, usually sleeping from 10pm - 6am on average. I've really appreciated this as ds was a terrible sleeper.
However, I've had enough of not having any evening time to myself. Dd usually gets fed to sleep which takes about an hour and a half.
She has a nap with dh while I get ds ready for bed and we've decided to start putting her in her bed at this point - 7.30ish. As she's losing her sleepy feed, I fully expected her to wake not long after, which she does, but now goes back to sleep fairly quickly after a feed, which is fine. However, because this feed is so sleepy, I don't think she's taking in as much milk and is now waking though the night. Right now I've been up for an hour and a half.
Feel reluctant to go back to the late nights but missing the long stretch of sleep. Should I persevere in the hope things will settle? She's still in her Moses basket at the moment but will be moving into a cot in her own room soon. Hoping this will help.
