Hi,
I've been posting on here about my (7 1/2 month old) DS waking during the night at various times, but particularly at 4am every night.
Well I seem to have tweaked things and he's pretty much sleeping through now! I thought I'd share...
1. Stopped dreamfeed - this was to try and get him to take more milk during the day, but he doesn't seem to miss it during the night and if anything seems more settled.
2. If he stirs in the night, we got straight in and change his nappy - he hardly wakes, but it seems to reset his sleep clock enough that he then goes through until 7 - 8am. (I'd always avoided changing his nappy where possible at night thinking he'd wake up to much.)
He does still wake up that once (last night it was 2am) but at least he seems to go straight back to sleep now rather than being very restless for another 1 1/2 hours! He also grumbles occasionally during the evening if he can't find his dummy but that doesn't seem to be a problem.
Happy days!
Mama
