Hi I'm hoping to get some advice on how to get my daughter to sleep through the 45 minutes. If I let her sleep on my she will sleep through the 45 minutes. In all fairness we just finally got the EASY working yesterday so this may be premature, but it's driving me crazy.
She is 7 weeks old today (non-adj, 2.5 weeks early), 7.5 lbs.
Our day yesterday was the following - 3 cycles
E - 25-30 minutes of bf
A - 25-30 minutes of tummy time, sitting in chair or looking at pictures (one each A, not all during one A)
S - starts with wind down and 60 (cycle 1), 40 (cycle 2), 20 (cycle 3) minutes of shh / pat
After 45 minutes she wakes up screaming. I tried to settle her yesterday and gave into feeding her. The first time it was 2:40 since the last feed, the second time was 2:20 since the last feed and the third was just 2 hours. I don't think she's hungry as she's not presenting her hungry cry, but I can't settle her otherwise. I also don't think she's hungry because it literally happens at 45 minutes. I could set a clock by it.
She's a gem at night. She goes for a 4.5 - 5 hour stretch followed by a 3-4 hour stretch. The shorter one seems to depend on if she's trying to have a bowel movement/gas relief.
I'm nervous for what today holds. So far:
6:30 - wakes up, diaper change
6:35 - bf for 26 minutes
7:35 - begin wind down, becomes drowsy, place in sleeper and pat
7:45 - alseep
7:55 - stop patting and leave room
It's 8:20 now and I'm just waiting for her to wake up screaming. I'll be headed into the room in 10 minutes to try and help her through the waking, but yesterday there was no luck.
As far as her sleep cues go I'm still trying to figure these out. She will start yawning 5 minutes after feeding her so I know that's not the right cue.
Any advice to get through the 45 minutes would be greatly appreciated!!!!
