Hi everyone,
I have been a loyal baby whisperer follower since my ds was born 2.5 years ago. This is my first time posting though! I wanted to thank you all for your helpful advice for my dd, she's 4 months old. I have learned so much from reading your posts.
My first lo is a touchy/spirited boy, so I thought my second would be a piece of cake! She is an angel baby, but even angels have their problems! She started sleeping though the night (12 hours solid, without a df) at 8 weeks. This bliss continued until 13 weeks, when she started rolling. She would get stuck in her crib, and cry. Her bedroom is right next to my son's, and her crying would wake him up. So I started to nurse her at night. Of course, this worked like a charm. Then she entered her 3 month growth spurt. Then she realized it was fun to nurse and cuddle at night, when mommy could give her 100% attention. And, she started to refuse to feed in the day. So, I fed her more often (up to every hour), and she refused the breast more often. She was starting to get up 5 times a night to nurse!!
I then started searching on your site, and transitioned her to the 4 hour easy. She was previously on 2.5-3 hour easy, then was all over the place when I tried to feed her more. I also started to wean the night time feeds. I started with a 5 minute breastfeed, then went down by a minute a feed. When she only nursed for 1 minute a feed for a full night, I stopped the feedings. I first used a bottle of water, then a soother along with pupd. And, it worked!!
I started this plan last Sunday, and by Wednesday, she was sleeping through the night again. And, she's feeding every 4 hours in the day and taking 2 really good naps. Thank you all so much!!
