My name is Ilse (pronounced Il-sa) mother of Elijah (4months) who is my first baby and we are from Perth, Australia. Over the last 3 weeks, Elijah has suddenly started waking every hour between 12am and 3am and then will sleep through till 6/6:30am. This behaviour however has coincided with him not needing to feed during the night. Elijah sleeps in our room, in his own cot and my husband and I suspect that his body clock is mimicking my husbands' who wakes between 12am - 3am to go to work. Elijah is easy to settle back to sleep and the last three nights we have made sure there are no interruptions to his sleep, but see not results yet. The past few weeks have been wrought with a growth spurt, me being sick and my mother looking after him, Elijah being sick, my brother in law passing away, my husband flying out of the country for nearly a week - so there have been a lot of variables. I'm just concerned as I'm not seeing any progress. His day routines are good:
7am wake and feed
9am - 45min nap
11am - feed
12am - sleep for 1.5 - 2hours
2:30pm - feed
4:30pm - little bit of rice cereal and nap
6pm - bath and feed
6:30 - sleep
10:30 - df
12-3 - all hell breaks loose!
Any ideas???
