Hello!!!
My totally delightful LO has slept 7pm - 6.30amish for the last 6 weeks (she is now nearly 8 months), when I dropped the DF and the CN. However for the last week she has started waking 30/45 mins after going to sleep when I have to go in to calm her and then cries for about 30 secs every 45 mins to hour throughout the evening (or more often). From about 4 weeks old she has slept solidly from 7pm for at least 5 hours, so this is a bit of a shock.
She seems desperate to crawl, has just starting rolling in the cot and hasn't any teeth!
She has self settled since about 10 weeks old and goes down for naps awake. However, since dropping the CN I find that she falls asleep whilst I'm BFing her at 6.30 and so I'm putting her down asleep (she is impossible to wake at this time without really upsetting her!). When she had a CN she would go down awake (and smiling) at 7 and go to sleep without crying.
so my thoughts:
Is my milk going, as now only doing 2 feeds a day?
Is she OT and should I put her to bed earlier?
Should I reintroduce the cat nap?
Would love to have any suggestions/ideas about what's happening and what i can do.
thanks!!!
