11 months - 2 wakes a night
« on: April 18, 2015, 20:15:47 pm »
hi

my 11 month baby girl wakes twice during the night.  not at the same exact hours.
Goes to sleep at 20:00-20:30 , wakes between 01:00-- to 03:00 and then again around 04:00-06:00

She has 2 naps during the day. In all her naps including the night sleep - I put her in bed while she is awake. She goes to sleep by herself
Takes no pacifier.
I still breastfeed her .

When she wakes at nights :I try to calm her with words and tell her it is night. But pretty quickly I give up because of her screeming and I breastfeed her. It ususally takes 5-10 minutes and then I put her  back to bed. Sometimes she resists and it can take longer.
She doesn't seem very hungry at first , she starts slow with the breast feeding and after a couple of minutes the speed of eating rises up.
 I am pretty sure that in the first wake up she is not hungry.
How can I help her to stop the night wakes ? What is the best way  ?
Thanks
Dina

I think that the problem is that your day is rather long, hun - 14 hours with 2.5 hours day sleep. It is best to keep your day to 12-12.5 hours max. If your day starts at 6am, I would suggest putting her to bed by 6 or 6.30 latest. This way you can also have a 12 hour night rather than now where your night is only 10 hours.
