BFing had become a bit of a prop for H, esp at BT. However, it hadn't changed the number of NWs so I hadn't done anything to tackle it. However , after sickness and hols it was clear that it was causing more NWs as she seemed to be losing the ability to resettle at night.
So for the last week or so I've been STing H (combination of pantley's gentle removal and shh-pat ) which seems to be working and she has settled really well for a few naps now by herself and is never BFd right to sleep at BT now , just to calm if she gets v upset then she settles in cot.
Anyway, so although we're not quite there yet we've def made quite a bit of progress this week.
HOWEVER, the number of NWs has gone up!!
Before it was about every 2hrs and now it is about hourly (until I bring her into my bed around 3am so we can get a bit more sleep, and then she wakes every two or so hours ..)
I googled and read that sometimes since she's not settling so peacefully as she used to at BT, this can cause more NWs.
Has anyone else experienced this? Dyt the NWs are just cos I'm STing ATM or could it be something else??
Naps vary but she usually has at least one or sometimes two naps of around 1.5 hrs each day. If one nap is short (usually 30-35 mins) then I apop a CN (go for a walk) late afternoon to get her through til BT.
