Need some baby sleep advice. Our 4 month old boy is a mystery. We have him on EASY. He eats every 3.5-4 hours now, awake time is about 90 minutes and naps have pushed past the 45 minute mark most times and are usually around 1.5 hours. During the day, he is content, sweet and predictable. But our nights are rough. He goes down between 6 and 7, as close to 12 hours after his wake up time as possible. I was doing the dream feed but it wasn’t really pushing his next night time feeding any later. He’d still wake around 1 and 4, sometimes even more frequently, so I stopped. Especially after he started waking up for it, expecting it and out of habit. If it wasn’t pushing him later, why bother right? This was about a month ago and he’s still waking on his own between 10 and 11, as well as around 1 and 4, then up for the day by 6 most days. He’s our third, so after looking after our other two (3 and 5), we’re exhausted. He still sleeps swaddled and naps in the swing, so I know we have to make the transitions to pack and play/crib all the time and unswaddling. May still have startle reflex and is still working on finding his thumb. Then the sleep training - either PUPD or CIO Ferber Method. The thing we want to eliminate right now is the dreamfeed waking. Any advice?
