Help! - 4.5 mo old starting waking but not hungry
« on: February 23, 2007, 22:25:09 pm »
Hi. My lo has been sleeping great since around 10 weeks. He'll have a 10:30p dreamfeed then sleep till around 7-8am. However the last few weeks he has been waking once or twice in the night. He'll usually go right to sleep if we just pop the soother in, but it is getting annoying and frustrating to be woken up every night. When I go in he doesn't appear hungry, he just seems like has woken up and can't get back to sleep on his own. He starts out fussing and then it'll turn into crying if we don't go in. When this used to happen before sometimes I'd hear a sound or two then he'll fall back asleep (I'm assuming, I usually didn't go in if he was quiet again).

I just wanted some help and suggestions as to why this might be happening all of a sudden now.

fyi -he still takes 4 naps a day around 1- 1 1/2 hr each. And lately his 1st morning nap is around 2 hrs. Could he be getting to MUCH daytime sleep? Or could the dreamfeed be disrupting his sleep?

Thanks!

I think you could probably extend his awake time so that you have two naps and a catnap in late afternoon.

I agree. What's your routine currently?
