Hiya,
I have a lovely 7mo who is EBF (with weaning solids) who can self settle to sleep. I did some pick up / put down / shush pat slowly over a few weeks at around 5/6 months and I did control crying for naps at 6.5 months. If I get her at the end of her awake window (3-3.5 hours) she can go down completely awake in cot and put herself to sleep in 5 minutes by babbling and shuffling. Great! But she is waking a lot and last night she sobbed on and off all night last night.
Our routine is
7am wake (she often wakes between 5-6 and 50/50 goes back to sleep)
9:30 nap 1 until 10:45
2-2:30 nap 2 for 1.5 hours. Awake by 4.
Bedtime 7-8pm ish although she often breastfeeds to sleep
I am happy to keep feeding 1-2 times a night and think it's early to nightwean but the distress is something else! What's going on?! There is no sign of teeth, she doesn't have a cold so not ears, her naps are really restful in cot at home. She sleeps in her cot in a sleeping bag (20 degrees in a 2.5 tog bag and baby grow).
