Thanks Stacy, that has been my feeling on it too--just to put the feeds where I want them to be. You are right, my son also wakes in the middle of the night and I hear awake for up to an hour but never usually crys and will fall back to sleep.I never really thought about that for naps. What do you think is the best way to deal with the 5:30am wake-up? I would think it work better if it was 6:30 or 7:00am. He woke this am at 5:30am, I left him but he started crying at 6am, so I got him up. Maybe I should of used some technique to get him back to sleep like Tracy suggests pu/pd? Interestingly, on the weekend. he awoke at 5:30am but then must have fallen asleep, (and I fell back asleep), and I went to check him at 6:30am he was sleeping, awoke at 7am.
Thanks, Deborah
