Sleep

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

My lo is three months.  His schedule is basically 5 oz every three hours. His evening routine is a bath, bottle at about 6:30 then bed at about 7. I wake him at about 11 for a dream feed. He then sleeps until between 3-5 and just cries, or complains. I give him a pacifier or rock him (never taking him out of the cradle). This can happen between 1-3 times in the evening. He then wakes up happy at about 7. Any advice to eliminate these waking? This is my second child and my daughter would take the dream feed and only wake up if she broke out of her swaddle or if she had wet through her diaper... Thx

    I agree - start skipping the dreamfeeding. Shouldn't hurt since you are already getting up in the middle of the night.

    i dropped it before N was 2 months old and he was sleeping from 9 pm on. Slowly I moved his bedtime up and now he eats at 7 and

    Not all babies sleep through the night. Consider yourself lucky that your baby sleeps like he does!
