Hi, my boy will be 4 months in 8 days. He changed alone to the 4 EASY Routine about 3 weeks ago. He usually wakes up at 9- 9:30 am and goes to bed between 8- 8:30 pm…
9:15 - Wake up
9:30 Eat
10: Activity
11: Sleep
1: Wake up /Eat
1:30 Activity
4: Sleep
5:30 Eat
6: Activity
If he eat at 5:30 I feed him again at 7:30 (kind of tanking up), so he does not go to bed with an empty tummy
10:30 dream feed
At the moment he takes two long naps one around 11- 11:30 for about 2 hours and one in the afternoon about 4- 4:30 pm for 1, 1 ½ hours. He does not have so much problems to fall asleep, he does mainly with his pacifier, I sing a little bit and then he will sleep. At night he cries a little bit more before going to bed, we put him his pajama and sleeping bag (we live in Germany and it is common here that baby used one) , them we said good night and sing to him and calm him down and he sleeps by himself (with the pacifier). I breastfeed on both side each time.
My “problem” is that even if I gave the dream feed at 10:30 my boy will wake somewhere between 1:30 – 2:30 I have tried to him his pacifier but he wont take it and I finally gave up and feed him, he used to drink both sides at night, now he is only taking one and falling sleep and waking up again around 4:30 – 5:00 again hungry (at least I think he is hungry, because he emptied my breast)….So I am not sure what to do, should I stop feeding him at night and try some other method to put him back to sleep? So far I have only try with the pacifier, I do not want to try PU/PD yet because he is not 4 months old.
Thank you so much for your suggestions!
