Hi there
I know this question has been asked many times, I have looked at the board but still am not sure what to do!
Aiden (
6 months, corrected age: 5 months) is a good sleeper however the past couple of weeks, he has been getting up earlier and earlier.
** On 3.5 - 4 hour EASY, trying to get him to 4 hour, has always woken up to feed at 6am.
** Has not had a DF for over 2 months, stopped night feeds over 2 months ago
** Sleeps in a miracle blanket - trying to slowly wean off!
** Self soothes to sleep
** Has been woken up between 5am the past week due to a very dirty diaper!
ROUTINEWakes up 5.30am
E 6am 240ml
A 6-7am
S around 7-7.15am (up for 2 hours) NAP: 1- 1.5hours
Wakes around 9am
E 9.00am 180ml
A 9. 30-10.30am
E 10.30am Solids (just starting rice cereal)
S 11am (NAP: 1.5 hours)
Wakes around 12.30
E 12.30 - 1.00pm 220ml
A 1.00pm - 2pm
E: 1.30pm :Solids (rice cereal)
S: 2pm
Wakes around 3.30-4pm (ideally like him to wake at 4.pm as it means he is up only 2.5 hours till bedtime)
E 4.30pm
A Bath at 5.45pm
E 6pm
S 6.45pm ** He
dropped catnap about 3 weeks ago, he does still have it occasionally when he has woken too early and hence his sleep routine is out for the day.
When he wakes before 5am, I leave him to grumble for 10-15 minutes, he grumbles and then quietens down and then grumbles, no crying. This morning he woke at 4.45am! ???Left him till 5 am, still grumbling, crept into nursery to check diaper, no issues, left for another 10 minutes, still grumbling, put my hand on his chest and he quietened down......at 5.45am, gave up and got him up for his feed.
Any ideas on how to get him to sleep till 6am again?? Not sure he will make it to 7am
Thanks in advance to you all!
