Opinions needed - to persevere or regroup

[Katekoom]

8 week old was happily doing 4.5 - 5.5 hours from 10pm then another 2 or 3.

Moved into crib from moses basket about a week ago, no problems.

This week decided to move bedtime to 7:30 as she was getting very miserable downstairs, rubbing eyes etc. From this time onwards. So bedtime starts at 6:30, asleep by 7:30.

First night it worked

Bugger posted too soon.

But she was up by 4:30 - not the end of the world.

Last two nights straight to sleep only to wake upset 30 mins later. She never did this when bedtime was 10pm. She then takes a good hour of resettling

The question is, do i carry o? She's obviously tired in the evening but I'm now getting less sleep. It could be a growth spurt throwing the result so should i just carry on for another few days and see if she adjusts?

I'm stuck!

Hope ive read this right. can you not put her to bed at 7ish but still let her have her feed at 10 treat it as a night feed then she mite go streight back until her usual time x

That's what I'm doing at the moment but she's just not selling easily

Settling

I'm in the 'regroup' (rather than preserver) camp. Time will come when she is ready for a proper bedtime upstairs but she is telling you she is not ready for that just yet.

Don't worry, it will come if you don't push her.

I would still put her to sleep downstairs in the evening when she is tried (and starts eye rubbing), but set the expectation that this is a nap rather than her bedtime.

Yeah if shes really not settling let her just stay down. You tried but shes just not ready by sound of it. We knew when ours was ready as she was moaning and started trying to cover her eyes when downstirs but i think she was slightly older
