Babywise & Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child

CEBrockCEBrock
in February 2013 Moms

Are you following either one of these books schedules?  

If so, which one and what does your schedule look like? 

I was following Babywise, but I feel like its backfiring and I have an overtired baby regardless of how short her wake time is and now I have a hyper alert child who can't take a nap. 

I am feeding at 7:30A, 10:30A, 1:30P, 4:30P, 7:30P and a dreamfeed at 10:00P.  She is sleeping anywhere from 2:30A - 4:30A (so anywhere from 4-6 hours at a time).  But regardless of what time she wakes up in the middle of the night, she always wakes up around 5:00 or 6:00A and is wide awake.  If its closer to 5, then I will feed her and put her back to bed until 7:30.

I realize I am close to the 6 week growth spurt, but I don't feel like she is there.  There are no hungry cues between feeding and she isn't eating more, etc.  

Sept 2009: off BCP, started charting
Nov - March 2010: no period
April - November 2010: Prometrium then clomid - BFN

January 2012 - IUI#2- Clomid + Estrace CD13 + trigger + 1/22 = BFN February 2012 - IUI#3 - Clomid + Estrace - Failed to respond to Clomid found on CD 13 monitoring.

    I believe in HSHHC that it said something about not bothering to try and schedule them until 6 weeks. Until then, go with the flow. So we're waiting until then.

    otherwise, before 6 weeks you are just beating your head against the wall trying to create a schedule.  of course

    I've read Babywise, and while I certainly don't agree with everything the book has to say, it's not as horrible as people make it out to be. He emphasizes that hunger cues should always come before the "scheduled" time to eat. So if your normal schedul

    We have been doing babywise/baby whisperer from the very beginning. As far as the failure to thrive, I have to believe that people are trying to follow the idea of a schedule way to strictly. The book actually says to follow hunger cues and suggest many s
