When to stop wrapping and when to move baby to separate room

[Monicux77]

Hello, my name is Monica and I have a 6 months baby girl.
She is on a very regular schedule during the day, she is eating solid food already (vegetables and fruits) and also takes around 28 oz of formula during the day. She does not need night feeding anymore.
The problem started two weeks ago, when we started some kind of transition from wrapping her to not wrapp. We wrapped her since she was born, and she did ok, but then she started kind of fighting the wrapping, that is why now we only wrap her legs. She has started to weak up 4-5 times per night, between 2:00 am and 5:30 am. and she was not doing that.
Also I want to ask when is the recomended time to move her to her own room, because now she is on a separate crib, but in our room. I did some research and found different opinions, like it is good to keep then with you until they are one year old, but we are not sure.

Thank you
Monica

Hi Jane, thank you for your answer.

To us wrapping has become a problem, believe it or not . Last night I tried to wrapped my baby again, after almost two weeks of not doing it (not the arms, just the legs) and it was a mess, she was fighting most of the time with the blanket. So I had to put her arms out again around 10:00 pm
She slept until midnight, then she woke up and was super wet, so I changed her, wich I think was another mistake, because after that she was fully awake and it took us a while to put her down again. I did wrapped her again, and it worked this time until 4:00 am.

She has a very consistent schedule during the day:
5:30 am - 7 oz of formula
9:30 am - Bowl of oatmeal cereal (3 teaspoons)with applee sauce (1/2 applee) + 7 oz of formula
1:30 pm - Bowl of vegetables + 7 oz of formula
5:00 pm - 1/2 pear (sauce)
6:30 - 7:00 pm - Bowl of oatmeal cereal (5 spoons) + 7 oz of formula

To put her to bed I have the following routine:
- Bath
- Massage with lotion
- Pijamas
- Food

Then to bed around 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm.

She does not have problems falling asleep, she does uses a pacifier.
The problem starts after midnight.

Thank you

Monica

She takes several naps:
- One of 45 min between 7:00 am and 9:00 am (9:00 am is time for her bath)
- One of 1 hour (sometimes more) between 10:00 am and 12:00 am
- One of 1 hour or more between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm
-Then she can take little cat naps besides the ones I just described.

First of all, thank you for your wuick answers.

What I do with the formula, is that I use part of the 7 oz to prepare the cereal for example, to make sure she gets all her milk, so for example I use 2 oz or so for the cereal and the rest on the bottle.

With the naps, the problem we always had with our baby is that she is a very active one. So, she always kind of fights with naps during the day. I try to create an special enviorment for naps, quiet, some dark curtains, soft music, etc. But still after 45 min she weaks up, and sometimes she fall asleep again and sometime take some time to continue with the nap. I know naps are important, and even after her meals, because I donīt like to feed her when she is tired.

Do you think it is too much time without food at night? from 7:00 pm to 2:00 am? tonight I was going to try to give her a bottle when she weaks up to see if she can sleep better from 2:00 am to 6:00 am for example. Do you think that is a bad idea?
The thing is I work (8 hours per day), so not sleeping during the night, and then working all day itīs killing me. During the day my mom takes care of her, but I always make sure she follows my schedule and I know she does.

I am sorry, I think I am not familiar yet with the vocabulary. What DF means?
"A time" is awake time, right?

[Monicux77]

Oh ok, I donīt think we are doing DF, the last bottle is at 7:00 pm and the next one until 5:30 am the next day. That is too much time right? maybe that is why she is still waking up in the middle of the night.
How DF works?
What do you think about wrapping? Did you use it? when did you stop doing it?
I work from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, so I only have time for her at nights, and very early in the morning.
