Hi there, looking for any advice that could help me and my 5 month old little girl.
Our routine is... 3 hourly bottle feeds (6oz bottles - doesn't always finish).
1st feed @ 7am, then 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. Bath at 7.30pm, bed by 8pm.
Sleeps through BUT wakes at 4am or 5am chatting, then gets restless. I use a dummy and she does eventually drop back off into a very light sleep. We then get up at 6.45am. (this was always her time before the early waking.
She only has approx 100ml at her 1st 7am feed and then by 8am wants to go to sleep. So she sleeps from 8am to 9.30am/10am. She is so tired and grumpy come 8am that she is desperate on her bed, due to early waking.
Through the day she naps at approx 11.15am and 2.15pm and 5.15pm. All approx 45 mins to hour sometimes a wee bit longer.
Now though she is looking for her naps even earlier due to overtiredness, ARGGHHH. Poor wee thing.
We have tried earlier to bed and later to bed in the evening. We still wake at 4 or 5am.
Any advice is welcomed,
thanks in advance x
