so I'll start with the questions:
How old is your child?
3 months 5 daysWhat’s his/her daily routine?
3~3,5 hrs EASY, she wakes up somewhere between 5 and 6 am, her first A time is usually at least 2 hrs, after that around 1,5 hrsWhat’s nap routine?
when she gets cranky I put her in a grobag, hold her when closing down the blinds, put the fan on for white noise, lay her down wit a paci and a piece of cloth around her face. she goes down easily and only sometimes I have to hold her longer and sing her a lullaby until she's calm. she never falls asleep in my armsHow long are naps?
45 min~1,5 hrs [usually 45 min, then sometimes I manage to put her back to sleep]What's bedtime routine? Time?
feed [FF], bath, cuddle, and after that same to nap routine. not later than 7:30, usually at 7:00Do you bottle or breastfed??
generally BF with two FF a dayHow much? or how long? FF:
120~180 ml, BF: 10~20 minIf breastfed.. one side or both?? (at each feed)
both sides nowHow many wakes per night?
once or twiceWhat’s your LO like when waking at night? How long is he/she up?
waking up to eat mostly. lately she wakes up and cries without being hungry and is not that easy to be put back to sleep. 10~20 minWhen you go to him/her is she fussing or crying? Or is it a mantra cry?
fussing/cryingWhat have you tried to settle??
paci, cuddle, breastWhat do you do for A time and how long is it?
1:15~2:00 hrs. feed, diaper change, book, play on bed, tummy time, walk in her pram once a dayAre there developmental issues such as teething or milestones?
teething?? trying to roll/sit upHave you introduced cereal? Why, how much, and how many times a day? (for LO’s under 6 months)
noDo they have a prop? If so what is it?
not really. I don't concider paci as a prop, she can sleep without itDo they have a lovie?
nook, so here comes my question:
dd used to sleep from 7:30 pm to 2/3 or even 4 am in one stretch, without DF. then she would wake to feed and sleep again to 6/7 am which was great.
now, we've gone through a growth spurt [12 weeks, she's so textbook
] and she was eating/sleeping much more. for a few days in a row she would feed at around 5 pm, have some A time and fall asleep and... wake at 1 or 2 am. and then start her day not later than at 5.
so i introduced a DF at 10:30 which didn't really help that much because she was still waking to eat [well, snack] at 2 or 3. and then at 5...
now she eats at around 6 pm, bath, cuddle, bed, sleep. and wakes up at midnight or 1 am. last night she woke at 11 pm!!! then at 2 am crying and not hungry, then at 4 to feed and at 6 smiling and ready for a new day. was fed at 7 am and is napped from 8:20 up till now, 9:35.
I think she's starting to teeth now as she's showing all the symptoms and from my mom I know I got my first teeth really early too.
so I'm not really sure what's the reason of her waking so often now and at different hours every night... is it a problem with her routine? or maybe she doesn't get enough calories during the day [she's long, some 64 cm now but no so big: 5.25 kg last week]? or is it just teething???
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
TIA
