Hi there my lo is almost 9 months now and has been quite a good sleeper until the last 4/6 weeks.. She was going down around 7-730 and not waking until atlesst 7 am...
Current easy is
Wu 5/6am, sometimes goes back to sleep
7/715am bottle
830 am so,ids
10am nap, capping to 1.5 hrs
1130a, bottle
1230/1 solids
230pm nap capped to 1.5 hrs
4pm bottle
5pm so,ids
6300! Bottle
7/730 sleep
Have started trying wake to sleep so started stirring her at 4am
Sunday- woke at 6am, awake until I went in at 7
Monday - woke at 415 and was in and out of sleep until 630ish and then awake until I went in at 7
Tuesday -woke at 608am, awake until I went in at 7..
Wednesday - woke at 6ish, awake until I went in at 7..
I had also tried increasing her awake time in the morning but she really struggles to stay awake past 10am..(perhaps because she is often awake from 6am??). So then I decided to try the wake to sleep but so far she is only sleeping until 6am... And I haven't stopped waking her at 4 as yet so not sure if she wil. NOw continue to sleep until 6 or if she will start waking earlier again..
Should I continue stirring her for a few more days and should I now try stirring her at 5am instead of 4am?
Or does it look like wake to sleep is not working for my lo and it's the day routine that needs changing?
Please help!! I know I'm very lucky that she sleeps as long as she does but after waking at 4/5 am every day for the last few weeks I'm feeling exhausted and just want to try to get her back to her old routine knowing that she used to be able to sleep until 7am...!
Please help! Any advice is much appreciated!! Thank you!!
