4.5 month wakes twice same time every night

[chell]

Oh, that didn't come out very well! The other page I suggested for you is a commomn routine for babies of 6-9 months:

7 - wake up and feed
7.30 - activity
9.30 - nap
11.15 - milk/snack
11.30 - activity
1pm - lunch
1.30 - activity
2 - nap
4- milk/snack
4.15 -activity
5.30 - dinner
7 - bath, night time routine, bed.

Is he sleeping through the night now?

Hi Chell,
 thanks again for your help,callum used to wake at 4 am for feed.
pu/pd don't think that would work in the morning i think your right and he just needs his 10 hrs sleep, as he wakes bright eyed and bushey tailed as they say ha ha ! at usually 5.30 ,now and again 15 mins earlier.
seem to be getting in a better routine now,only thing i find disrupts it if i go shopping,callum won't sleep the same or at the same time as he does when he is at home.
picked up Tracys book today,only flicked through a few pages so far as haven't had much time,but it's really good full of tips and advise.
Been doing really well with the nights,Callum is now in bed for 7 and usually asleep for 7.15 ,woke a few times last couple of nights during the night but i think he is teething .
 hope to speak soon Jane

Well done!, it really sounds as though you have made good progress. I found that Jacob just gradually increased his night time sleep of his own accord, over a period of time, so maybe Callum will....Yes any major activities - like shopping would affect Jacob too!
One thing to remember is not to rush straight in, in the mornings, jsut wait a little- you never know he may drop back off! What I do at the weekends when I want a little bit of a lie in ( if you can call getting up at 7am a lie in!) is to put a few toys, which he doesn't usually have ( or something new) into his cot, and I can usually get another 1/2 hour out of him.

Good Luck!
