Habitual waking

[Jojo1st]

Does anyone have thoughts on this.

I've taken the dummy away as I was doing 14 dummy runs in 5 hours. I couldn't bear to count them all. Since he's sleeping much better. But wakes up 1.28-1.30 for the past 5 nights. He's not hungry he will take the bottle but doesn't settle after. He did this when he was 4 weeks, it was 4.18, I stopped picking him up and he after a few nights he stopped doing it.

Now he's older he's crying when he wakes. So I've read that you can try an hour before to rouse him and that starts a new cycle and may break the habit.
Does anyone have experience or thoughts on this?

How old is he? Maybe he just needs that feed at 1.30am?

Hard to know really without baby's age x

Sorry ladies he's 5 months. He dropped his night feed early, around 12 weeks. He wouldn't take it. We checked with his paediatrician and he said some babies do, he's very healthy so was fine.

Last night i went in at 12.30, stroked god cheek. He twitched and has just started stiring now at half 5.

Oh sorry I forgot to say I did feed him the first 4 nights, which he barely took and made him more unsettled.

It sounds like it could be the 4 month sleep regression has arrived late. It did for us too.

Hi, oh no it hit us at 14 weeks, it was every 35 minutes all night, plus no napping during the day. I ended up using little ones sleep programme and he's napping better during the day and much better at night by 80% self soothing. Plus I got rid of his dummy last week, as that was a massive obstacle.
I hated the regression. It nearly broke me!
