My 10 month old used to wake between 1 and 4 to nurse. I always nursed her till she was asleep then put her back down. She'd sometimes wake when I put her down but always fell back to sleep.
She's currently in a developmental leap and usually is more wakeful at night during these. Doesn't fall back to sleep as easily when I nurse her, etc. shes also now sleeping through till 4:30 or later now. But always waking before 6 and usually at around 9.5-10 hours sleep. Her usually night is 10.5-11.5.
I'm not sure whether to nurse her right away (i tried once and she was restless and took forever to get back to sleep), let her be until she fusses (this is what I've been doing and she fell back to sleep once) then nurse her back to sleep, or let her be until she fusses and get her up for the day. I have a 5 yo in the next room so can't let her fuss too much and getting up too early is hard because we have to be quiet so as not to wake the house.
Things usually go back to normal (not as wakeful) after her leaps are done without any real effort, /9 hoping this is just a phase! But suggestions would be appreciated!
