How often and what time does your LO wake up to eat at night?
DD has been all over the place lately. Ever since the time change and I came back to work her sleep has been going down hill. She used to be up at 3am and 6am to eat but last night it was midnight and 4am - She didn't go back down until 5:20am this morning, and was then up every half hour.
I 'think' she is teething but who knows.
If your LO does sttn, that is awesome but I really don't want to hear about it right now
She eats 5oz every 4 hours day and night.
Re: If your LO does NOT STTN
I don't think DS will ever truly sleep through the night, so I feel your pain.
Most nights he goes down around 8, wakes between 2-3, and then wakes again at 7-7:30.
Many nights he'll throw an extra feeding in there around midnight. Last night was: sleep at 7:30, up at 11:45, up at 3:45, up for the day at 7:45. Luckily he does go back to sleep pretty effortlessly after he eats (KNOCK A LARGE PIECE OF WOOD).
He's EBF but I'm guessing it's about 4 or 5 ounces each time based on what I pump and what he takes at daycare.
i meant to write i'll talk to the pedi about sleep training
Goes to bed at 7:30/8:00
Up at 1:30
Up at 5
Up at 8
This. Last night DS went down around 7:45, then up to eat at 12:10, and then up again at 5:20, played for awhile, and ate and then asleep in his swing at 6:45am. My mom is watching him today so he may still be sleeping for all I know. He also goes down pretty effortlessly-I play white noise music in his room and I just lay him back down in his crib with a pacifier. Sometimes he stirs and I stick the paci back in his mouth. But FYI-this was an example of a VERY good night, some night he is up three times or so.
My LO can STTN but he doesn't do so consistently.
He has an odd schedule because my DH doesn't get home from work until 7:30 pm and we want him to spend time with DS. Since I work for my family business, I take DS to work with me (hours 10 am to 6 pm) and we're not home until 6:30/6:45 pm.
DS may nap for an hour between 7:30 and 9:30 pm, but more often than not, he's awake. Probably overtired and overstimulated but I can't always get him to sleep.
We give him a bath every other night around 9-9:30 pm and he gets a bottle (5-6 oz) around 10 pm. He'll fall asleep soon after and will either get up once?anytime between 1am and 3am for a 5 oz bottle?and wake up again around 6:30 to 7 am. He'll stay up for an hour and then naps for a bit before we leave for work at 9:30 am.
Or he'll STTN?from 10:30 to 7 am (then the same morning routine). I never know what he'll do.
Though there are times when he wakes up several times, but luckily they aren't too often.
