Hi all,
This is my first post but I would really like some advice on our routine. My lg was born prematurely at 30 weeks.
My lg is 6 months/27 weeks corrected (37 weeks chronological age), breastfed and has never slept well, waking between 2 and 8 times a night. We started weaning a while ago at 6 months chronological
Age. She eats well and enjoys her food. Our typical routine varies a bit but is something like this:
W 7.30
S 9.15-9.45
E 10 milk
E 10.30 breakfast
S 11.30-12.00
E 12.00 milk
E 12.15 lunch
S 2.00-2.25
E 2.30 milk
S 3.45-4.20
E 4.30 milk
E 5.00 dinner
Routine starts at 6pm
E 6.30 milk
S 7.10
Wake 9.30 (shhh back to sleep)
Wake 10.30 (shhh back to sleep)
E 11.30
S 12.30-2.30
E 2.30
S 3.00-4.30
E 4.30
S 6.00-7.30
Wow, what a mess!! I really want some advice on how to sort it out.
The main issues are very short, frequent naps and frequent night waking. It's also a bug issue that it can take ages (1-4 hours) to get her back to sleep. Sometimes due to wind but sometimes she is just very awake. Her A time varies from 1hr20-2hrs. She then starts rubbing her eyes so I take her to bed. She fights naps but I just place my hand on her chest and shhh her and she will fall asleep. She has napped longer in the past, up to 1hr 45, but in the last two weeks hasn't napped for longer than 25/30 minutes.
Please help!! 🙏
