Hi
My 4 months old LO has moved to a 4 hour EASY for the last week and over the last 2 weeks we have been seeing major improvements with his night sleep (why do i always feel like i am jinksing it if i admit it
) he slowly but surely has dropped his 2am and 4 am waking (hopefully for ever..... ye, right) and has now been waking anywhere between 5:30 and 6:10. anytime before 6:00 I pick him up and try to get him drowsy again for a bit longer. anytime after 6:00 i feed and start the day. He goes to bed around 7:00 which is about half an hour early for my taste but given that his day starts at 6:00 i figure there is not much i can do about it at this point. DF is around 22:20. He does every second night or so waken up at at around 21:50 but i figure that is because he is used to getting food at around 3:30 hours after evening feed (from the 3 hour routine) so i settle him and do dream feed later. my questions are:
1. will he learn not to expect the DF so early like this, or should i be intervening somehow?
2. Currently i am happy with his hours and don't mind the 6am wake after 4 months of 2 waking a night. And honestly if someone promised to keep it like this for the next year or so, i will take it - no questions asked
. I read the link in FAQ and am ecstatic to know that he is doing well for his age (10 hours a night). however my question is is there something i can do to prevent this from becoming an early rising issue or should i wait until 6 months to see if will develop by itself?
