Hi everyone,
I am new in this forum and have been following BW since DD was ard 6 weeks old. By 2 months, she was able to self settle on most naps and sleep and is currently on a 3 hrs EASY. Her day naps are perfect 1.5hrs 3 times a day but she hasnt yet sleep through the night, she wake for a feed ard 11/12am and another at 4 am, but am ok with that since she sleeps on her own after each feed.
However, recently at ard 12 weeks old, she started having the following problems:
1- Cat nap at her 2nd and 3 rd nap (ie after her 10am feed and 1pm feed) . Her first nap of the day which is ard 8.30am (assuming she wakes at 7am) usually last for 1.5 - 2hrs even and i usually hv to wake her up from it.
2. Dont seem hungry every 3 hrly- she only breastfeed for abt 5 mins. Am unsure if she is getting more efficient at the breast or just not hungry.
3. Her night wakes are getting worse- prior to this, i would feed her at 7pm and dreamfeed at ard 11 and then she ll be up for a feed at ard 3/4am and then up at 7am. The past 2 days, she has been waking up at 1am (even after a dreamfeed at 11pm), and again at 3am and again at 4/5am. I suspect is growth spurt but each time she ll only suck for 5 mins.
4. She will cry everytime i put her down for naps. In the past, i could leave her in the cot and she ll fall asleep on her own. I thought she has learn the art of self settling but she seem to be regressing and is quite depressing. To help to nap during the day, she now needs to be shshsh / pat for 5-10min (previously zero) and her bedtime is the worse, she needs to be pat/shshsh for an hr!!
Anyone got any suggestions for me?
