Hi,
Not sure if I should be posting this on the feeding or sleep board.My LO who is 3 weeks off being 6 months has just started waking early in the morning again.She's been on the 4 hour routine for just over a month now,we've got her daytime naps sorted now it seems,she does between 1 1/2 and 2hours morning and lunchtime and 30mins catnap.She can stay awake between 2 and 2 1/4 hours.Well for 3 mornings now she's woken just after 5 am.She doesn't wake crying,she burbles away for 1/2 hour,so i've left her to see if she'll get back to sleep but then she starts the 'coughing' cry which signifies hunger doesn't it?She never cries during the day with hunger so have forgotten what it sounds like!I then get her up at 6:30 and feed her and start her day.Yesterday I gave her a top up of 4oz on top of her usual breastfeed before and after her bath,to see if that made a difference,she woke at 5:45 this morning.So I'm wondering if she might be ready for weaning.She seems very interested in what we eat,can hold her head up straight and is quite a big baby.She's 70cm and should be about double her birthweight at 6 months which will be 16lb.Am I right in thinking this or is it something to do with her daytime routine.I'm at a loss again.Any advice..thanks.
