Hi there,
This weekend I transitioned by LO to his crib - until now he had been sleeping on my chest at night - at first this was due to colic/reflux and a milk allergy but once he developed past these problems it continued as a habit.
The first night he woke 6 times and the second night he woke 5 times. I anticipated that it would be hard because he is getting used to a new environment.
He is on a 3 hour easy, normally taking about 5 hours of naps in the day (we're struggling with the 45 min nap monster but making progress). He goes to bed at 7:45 and last night he woke at 10:30pm for a feed and then at 3:30am for a feed. He woke again at 5pm (fussy and needed to be settled) and then struggled with 45 minute cycles until 6:30 when he was up for good.
I know that every baby is different and I am thrilled that we're down to three wakings and two feedings in just a few nights with the crib. I just want to know how many night wakings is normal for a breastfed baby at 14 weeks of age so that I can make sure I help him get used to his new surroundings and develop good sleep habits.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
