My LO is 5.5 months old and wakes at 5.30am every day - really struggling as I’m exhausted.
He goes down to sleep for 7, dream feed at 10.30 then wakes for a feed at 2.30. He’s then up at 5.30am and there’s no resettling him.
His room is pitch dark, white noise and the heating comes on in the early hours so he’s not cold. He’s also not hungry as he takes big feeds at 10.30 and 2.30. His day time naps total about 4 hours over 3 naps. He was napping more but I now wake him after one hour from his first nap. He then has a 2 hour nap over lunch time and another - hour nap before bed around 3pm.
Do you think trying to delay the 2.30 feed would help? I’d love to cut it out all together because If he slept from his dream feed to 5.30 it would be easier but that 2.30 wake is a killer and by the time I’ve fed him etc it takes me a while to fall asleep. I’m so so exhausted. His nappy is wet when he wakes - probably because he takes so much milk at night! I could do a nappy change for one of the feeds? Help!
