Quick W2S Question

[Atomic1010]

Hi my 10.5 month old wakes habitually a number of times each night - I can set my watch by him. Having tried PU/PD and resettling in the cot with no improvement, I want to give W2S a go.

The book says to gentle rouse them one hour before their habitual wake up time. My LO has 30 min sleep cycles so if I did that I would be getting him to stir in between sleep cycles which surely will wake him?

With this in mind at what time before his wake up time should I go in to him?

I'd probably go in something like 20 or 50 mins before the habitual wake up so you are missing his transition time.

Great - many thanks!

Good luck, hope it works out for you

Thanks tried 20 mins before and I'm not sure whether it was too soon or whether I made too much noise but I woke him up. Cue crying and hysterics for 30mins until I Bf him to sleep! Will try again tonight maybe waiting a few more mins longer before he is due to wake

Good luck again!
