I started doing pat/shh 2.5 weeks ago to get rid of my 7 month olds night wakings (previously we'd been doing pat/shh at the beginning of the night, but then I'd feed him every 3-4 hours and he'd sleep in our bed for part of the night).
I've gotten him down to one feeding between 2-4 most nights, but he's still waking between 10-11 and again at 5. Sometimes he goes back to sleep within a couple min, othertimes it might take an hour of patting off and on, but I just want him to stop waking up at those times! The way things are, I can't go to bed until after his first waking--everytime I try, he wakes just after I've gone to sleep
And then the 5 am waking is a pain because then he often wakes again at 5:45 and that one is often the beginning of our day--occasionally I can get him back to sleep after I feed him there, but not most days. And I'd be willing to get up at 5:45 if he'd just sleep through the other times (DD was a really early riser for her first 2 years as well).
So, since they aren't at the exact same times (well, the 5 am is actually pretty exact), what can I do? Can I try some type of W2S? And seriously, any ideas why he's still waking at these times? He slept through until the feeding a couple nights in the first week or so of sleep training, but now its been 1.5 weeks of the wakings again.
Thanks in advance.
