Hi there Teezee.... No, she doesn't always wake at exactly the same time, but generally times are more or less the same... around
10pm, then 1.30pm, then again at about 4 or 5. I can get her back to sleep at the 10pm wake time without breastfeeding her, but not the others. For the past two nights now she has been waking up at around 8 and only goes back to sleep when she's in my arms, as soon as I try to put her in the cot, she wakes up crying and won't settle back down. She also doesn't take a dummy, so I can't even use this to help her self-calm. Have tried a security object, but she also resists this. Her routine is as follows:
5/6am - Breastfeed
8am - Breasfast (cereal) she NEVER eats her breakfast well and is not at all enthusiastic about it like she is with lunch and supper
10am - Juice/tea/water
12.30 - Lunch (she has chicken/lamb/beef with veggies) - eats well
2pm - Bottle (150mls - doesn't drink more than this)
5.30pm - Supper (she has veg followed by some dessert either fruit or purity desserts) - eats well
7pm - Bottle (150ml)
I don't have any of the bw books, no.
Hope to hear from you again soon
