my son has woken at 5:30 yesterday and 5:00 this morning. He rarely wakes in the morning. usually will sleep from 7:30-7:30 with a DF at 10:30. he cried both times and I went in and fed the first day because it was his hunger cry. this morning I used shh/patt for 40 min. and nothing happened. he stopped crying but as soon as I would stop patting or shhing he would start to cry agian. never went to sleep so after 40 min I fed him and he fell asleep as eating. both nights he didn't have a full feed so I don't htink he was "really" hungry. the first night he didn't fall asleep as he fed just was done early. I am wondering if it is transition time. we just did this to a 3 hour plan and started having 45 min nap times. now he is still doing the 45 min nap thing so I can't gage it off that. I've been trying to extend his 45 min naps too with W2S but no real luck yet.
here is a typical day
E-7:30
A-8:00-9:00
S-9:00-9:45 (unless W2S works then usually an hour-hour 15 min nap)
A-10:00-10:30
E-10:30
A-11:00-11:30
S-11:30-12:15(use W2S same as fuirst nap)
A12:15-1:30 (sometimes will feed early so he can go to sleep)
E-1:30
A-1:45-2:00
S-2:00-2:45(Same W2S senario)
A-2:45-4:30
E-4:30
A-4:45-4:50
S-5:00-5:45 (try W2S but usually doesn't happen)
A-5:45-6:30 ( sometimes will feed early so he can get to bed earlier)
E-6:30
BATH
E-7:30
BED
So he has been waking between 5:00 and 5:30 and wont go back to sleep without eating. any suggestions or am I right to say it is transition time?
