Hi,
I am really hoping someone can help me. My 5 month old DS wakes up for an hour and a half almost every night (Saturday he didn't-not sure why). It has happened at times from 2:00-3:30, 3:00-4:30, last night was 1:30-3:00. It's not hunger as he tries to settle back but just can't because he's so awake.
We've been having earlier bedtimes for 2 weeks now. Used to put him down around 9:30 or 10:00 :oops: and he was chronically overtired for sure! Anyway, two nights ago he went down around 7:15 and woke at 2:30, last night he went down at 6:10 (due to short catnap) and woke at 1:30! He wasn't too loud or needy for a half hour so i left him...then it was shhhh/pat for an hour.
I was confident last night was going to be better because he went down really well for all three naps and started sleeping on his tummy yesterday which he seems to love.
after going back down at 3:00, he woke at 4:00 but settled back down right away...then up at 5:30 to feed, didn't go back down right away (I'm new to putting him down on tummy-not very graceful at it)
Anyway, if anyone has words of advice I'd be very grateful (even just words of encouragement)
thanks
Traci
