I have a 14 wo DD and we are working with her to make her sleep indepently on her own.
Luckily she has always been a good night sleeper. At 4-6 weeks she started STTN and for the last month her nights were consistent. She was in bed around 8.30 and slept for 8-9 hours in one strecth. I was allowing her to fall a sleep in my arms or while BF and holding her for 20 mins more to make sure she is totally sleep before putting her to her crib.
2 weeks before we started to wean our way of falling asleep in mummys arms. Now I am trying to put her in her crib before she is totally asleep. I have some problems with the method and I am working on this in General Sleep forum but there is one issue I wonder. Her night sleep has changed. She is now waking up around 1-2 AM after sleeping 5-6 hours. This is her only one NW, then she wakes up at 6 AM. I am trying to figure out what changed her sleep pattern. I suspect either the sleeping method or the feeding time.
She is exclusively BF, and taking shorter feeds nowadays. Our ped says this is normal. But i tried to have her longer feeds suspecting that this may be the reason for her NW but she does not take more.
Did you encountered a change in sleeping pattern (in a negative way I mean, I was expecting more positive changes
) when you weaned a prop and tried to encourage independent sleep?
For now I fed her as this is only one NW. Hope that I am not creating any AP. Appreciate any advice.
