7 month old and not sure what to do...
« on: October 21, 2014, 17:15:14 pm »
My little lady is now 7 months old. We are finally getting some good naps. usually 1h15m naps in am and almost 2 h pm nap. The big issue is EW! She still wakes anywhere from 5 am to 6:30am- we usually will feed her a small amount (like 3-4 oz) and she will go back to sleep eventually and wake her at 7:30am to start our day. Usually 3h45m A time for first and then 3h30min for second A and then 2h30m to 3h for A before bed. She is very fussy around dinner time and very needy overall and has to be around someone at all times! She is not in a wonder week but is likely teething... Any tweeks we should make to try to get her to sleep through until 6:30 or even 7 if we could??

typical day with EW:
wake at 5:30, feed her in room and back to sleep
wake her at 7:30am, bottle
8:30am breakfast
11:15am-12:30pm nap
12:30pm bottle
1:30pm lunch
3:30pm bottle
4pm-5pm nap
5:30pm dinner
7:15pm bottle
7:30pm bed

Typical day if no EW:
She wakes at 6:30am
7:30am bottle
8:30am breakfast
10:15am-11:30am nap
12pm bottle
1pm lunch
3pm bottle
3-5pm nap
5:30pm dinner
7pm bottle
7:30pm bed

Hmm. It's normal enough to have a 5am wake up and snack and go back to sleep. If she's waking from hunger, then try to up calories during the day (perhaps as you're getting towards bedtime). Great that she goes back to sleep though!

My fear is she won't go back to sleep- We have been letting her roll around if she wakes after 6am recently and just get her up at 6:30am and feed at 7am... but if she wakes earlier we feed and back to bed and wake at 7:30am. just so early!!

She was sleeping from about 7:30pm-6:30 pr 7 am for a while there. Then there was teething and wonder week and now just waking up and rolling around, some squaking- she seems very happy and did 4 hours A time this am and slept for 1h20min. I worry about putting her to sleep earlier and earlier as I get home at 6:30pm from work... She definitely is not as good as DS1 who slept through the night from age 4 months!
