Multiple Issues, which do I fix first? HELP!
« on: November 29, 2005, 00:43:42 am »
I have a beautiful baby girl who is about to turn 4 months.  We have been on the 3 hour routine since she was 2 weeks old and a fortnight ago we transitioned to the 4 hour routine and she had adjusted very well.  The issues that I am having are two fold:

1.  She was suffering from habitual waking at 3.00am, which I broke her of by waking her an hour before.  Since then however she has taken to waking at 4.30am and continues to wake every 45 minutes thereafter until her 7am feed.  How do I break this?

2. When we transitioned to the 4 hour routine we reduced her feed by one bottle but increased the amount.  Now however, it is a struggle to get her to take more than half of any of the bottles!

What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps she is not quite ready for a 4hr routine.  My dd (though she is bf) was not ready for a four-hour routine until about 7mos.

As for the nightwaking, I would try wake-to-sleep again for the 4:30am waking.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

it does sound like she's waking out of hunger to me too.... maybe try a 3.5 hr routine instead? 

any new developmental milestones?  those disturb sleep too.
