How do I solve the problem of night awakenings. My 4 month old has been moved onto a 4/4 routine. Which I thought would solve the problem of him being awake in the middle of the night, he never did this before, only woke to feed and then straight back to sleep. His routine is as follows
7.00- feed
7.00-8.45awake, activity
8.45-11- sleep
11-1 eat activity
1-2.30 sleep
2.30-4.30-awake, eat, activity
4.30-5.00 sleep
5-7 bath eat sleep
Then I feed him around 9.45 and that usually gets him through until 1.30-2 when he takes a full bottle and doesn't eat until 6.30-7 again.
However the last few weeks or so he has started to want to be awake from his 1.30 feed until exactly 3.30 when he falls asleep again. He needs a nappy change at this time as well, should I do it before the feed?
Ideas welcome- thank you
