Okay, FrasersMum, this is what I've been thinking: wake to sleep. What do you think. Her wake time varies by 15 min. or so, so I'm not sure exactly when to do it----and some nights she wakes after only one hour instead of two, sometimes needing intervention and sometimes putting herself back to sleep. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to do wake to sleep if you're not sure exactly when she will wake? What if I went in at 8:10 if she typically wakes between 8:15 and 8:30, just to be safe , and gently nudged her or brushed her cheek with my hand, would that screw things up? Then, am I supposed to leave or am I supposed to put my hand on her belly for 20 min until she goes into the next cycle?
