Hi, I'm currently trying to move my DD 15 weeks old (16wks Fri) to a 4hr routine.
She did well on the 3hrs but noticed that her naps were 30mins - 45 in length. She only wakened once at night for a feed aprox 5am. She was only taking 3oz at each feed so I thought 4hrs would be better.
We are on day 14 of the plan, but from about 5 days ago she's been waking twice at night, 2am, given dummy although in and out for an hour and then fed at 3.30ish and restless sleeping the whole night. I am exhausted! I'm thinking that maybe 5hrs of naps is too long for her? She is managing everything well during the day and is steadily taking 4-5oz which is fab
, just now the nights are awful
.
During the earliest wake up I've give her water but she only take a little so she's not hungry then. Then just settled her with a dummy. She will take 3-4oz at the 3.30 feed.
Anyone got any pearls of wisdom? I might keep her on the routine up to day 15 of Tracy's plan for a while longer also, I don't think she can manage the full awake time in the afternoon yet.
