3.5 month old not sleeping thru night and early waking. HELP!

[DrTonya]

My LO has a few sleep issues thst I am looking for help with:

1. He is still waking 2x's a night or more.
2. He wakes up at 3:30am and it goes downhill from there with him sleeping 30 minutes to an hour until 5:30am then there is no hope for more sleep.

Notes:
-His naps are pretty good and 9/10 times I have to wake him up.
-He has never slept more than 30 min for first nap of day (8:30) so I started going to gym.
-nighttime sleep = 7:00-11:30, 12:30-3:30am

His current schedule:

E,A 5:30-7:30 nurse, dressed, play
S    7:30-8:00 15 min nap on drive to gym
E,A 8:00-9:30 childcare at gym, bottle at gym
S    9:30-10:00 nap on drive home
E,A 10:00-11:30 nurse, play
S    11:30-1:00 nap
E,A 1:00-2:30 nurse, play
S    2:30-4:00 nap
E,A 4:00-6:30 nurse, play, sometimes 30 min nap
S    6:30-7:00 bedtime routine

Thinking of changing to: (in hopes he will sleep to 7am)

E,A 7:00-8:30 nurse, dressed, play
S    8:30-9:00 nap
E,A 9:00-9:15 drive to gym
       9:15-10:45 childcare at gym, bottle
       10:45-11:00 drive from gym
S    11:00-1:00 nap
E,A 1:00-3:00 nurse, play
S    3:00-5:00 nap
E,A 5:00-7:00 nurse, play
S    7:00-7:30 bedtime routine

1. DOES THIS NEW SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE IT WILL HELP HIM SLEEP MORE AND LATER?
2. PLEASE GIVE ANY ADVICE YOU CAN :-)

THANK YOU!

I'm afraid that your trip in the morning is messing things up a bit... Sorry, I know that it's not what you wanted to hear. I am all for getting Y time (I was also a gym junky before ) and EASY shouldn't stop you from doing the things you like, but perhaps you can think about changing the time of it?
The very short naps he is doing in the morning is not enough sleep for him, causing him to be OT and could also be the reason for the many NW and the EW.
So IIWY I would aim for getting a good nap in the morning and see if that effects the nights and make them better.

It's still normal for his age to wake up twice at night, but you are saying he wakes up more than that? How many times? Are you still feeding at night and if so when? How are you settling the other NWs? Do you use pat/shh or AP?
When he wakes up at 3:30 coming to 5:30 does he seem in discomfort? Does he have Reflux by any chance?

I see that you have a thread over at Night wakings so I am going to lock this one
