My DD will be 1 in less than 2 weeks. I am still breastfeeding and she in my opinion is getting too much of her milk intake at night! She only feeds a couple times a day (or so). She does eat solids 3x a day and snacks, but she is hit or miss with the quantity (loves berries and all fruits tho:)
Her schedule is as follows- roughly
wakes usually around 615 - 7
breastfeed
plays
breakfast around 8
nap around 9-930 sleeps for 45m-1hr15
plays (try to give her a snack of cherrios or puffs also)
lunch around 1230 - 1
sleep (always keep her up for at least 3-3 1/2 hours after she wakes from am. nap)again anywhere from 45 min - 1hr and half (have tried W2S and PU/PD when waking too early)
plays
supper by 6 (husband home around then try to wait for him but sometimes she can't manage)
bath, followed by wandering after her sister while we prep for bedtime
bedtime routine - feed, book or lullaby (sometimes she is too cranky for book - sing her a song and put her to bed)
Lately for bedtime she is ticked if I leave the room at bedtime but will let me leave at nap - I say _ Mommy be right back and she goes off on her own (daytime) at night I try that and she screams - if I go in there and just stand by the crib and whenever she gets up I say bedtime and pat on the mattress, she lays back down and I momentarily put my hand on her back - but I stay by the crib and she keeps checking to make sure I am, then goes to sleep on her own.
Now as for NW - she always wakes between 11 and 12 - I feed her and put back in crib, she goes back to sleep, then she's up again around 3 or 4 and 5 or 6 - no night is ever the same, but there have been very few where I have gotten just two wakes. She has slept once for 6hours straight and once for 7 hours straight somewhere in there - and some nights with 5 hour stretches, but this the life I have become accustomed to. I go back to work in two weeks and I'm starting to just go in at night and not even looking at the clock and feeding her almost everytime - I am a zombie.
any advice would be appreciated
