Hi there,
I've got my 8 week old baby girl on somewhat of an EASY routine that is flexible from day to day but generally looks like this:
7am - wake, feed
8:30am - sleep ( generally this is her longest sleep and will sleep from 1.5 - 2 hours)
10am - wake, feed
11:30am - sleep (will often just sleep for 1 hour)
1pm ish - feed
2:30pm - sleep (will often just sleep for 45 mins and difficult to resettle)
4pm ish - feed
will not sleep from 4pm till BT
6pm- baby massage, then feed
7pm - bed
10pm - bath and bottle
3:30am - feed
I have two questions relating to my EASY rooutine and bub:
1. It is super difficult to get her to take a small nap after the 4pm feed so she's often up until 7pm and then when we put her to bed after feeding her she takes about 30mins to settle and then exactly 20mins later will always wake up and we have to resettle her which usually takes another 20 mins. What can I do to change this habit?
2. She wakes pretty much at 3:30 or 3:45 am every night. Is this just a habit and I should resettle her or is she hungry - I have been feeding her every night at this time and she will generally go back to sleep quite quickly. If it's a habit, what should I do?
3. Oh and one more question, should i be trying to resettle her to make her daytime naps longer?
Thanks for your advice
