I have a 6month old EBF who uses a dummy. From around 8weeks she would sleep 8-3am, feed then go back down in her next to me until 7/7:30. We then hit 4months and she increased to 2 feeds a night with some issues with transfers into her crib, arms flailing and waking her up. That resolved afree around 2 weeks. So we decided to move her into her own room just after she turned 5months. She now sleeps 7-11:30/1 where I feed her. Generally goes back down in her cot great until we hit 4am. She will wake anytime between 4 and 5 at which point it is virtually impossible to transfer her without her waking 10-15mins later, yet she will fall back to sleep in arms as soon as picked back up. At this point I’m either having to co-sleep or hold her to bridge until 6:45-7: I really do. It do not like this aspect of the night as I worry about the safety of this.
At 7pm she self settles at night with her dummy and no further interventions. Naps are currently 3 a day wake windows around 2.5hours. Sometimes the 3rd nap is a struggle. She rarely feeds to sleep. We still have the next to me set up which I sometimes manage to transfer her into but it is very rare. Whenever she sleeps in this she likes her face right up to the edge of the crib, sometimes I wonder whether she would prefer something close to her face in her cot but I also know this is not safe.
Any tips on how the 4-5am wakes can be bridged?
