sleeping issues
Hey ladies. I am having a tough time getting lo to sleep. I'm not sure if I'm over thinking this right now or what but any advice you can give would be great. Here is my usual nightly routine: bottle at 7, bath at 8. Book and rocking until about 9. Then I put him in his crib totally awake and with his paci. He likes to side sleep..so I put him on his side then white noise and out the door. I go in only if he's crying or loses his paci. I'm not sure what else I can do. He is up several times a night still. I've cut out his night feeds since I know he isn't needing them. When I go in to get him back down he is completely awake...I mean giggling and cooing awake. Then he thinks its time to play! I need to sleep and somethimes he's up like this 4x a night! It takes about 25 mins to get him back to sleep. Then he's up at 7....help please. Ftm here.

Not an expert here... but I'll share what our experience has been so far.
LO was doing a great job sleeping since birth. She gets a bath every other night, then snuggles/books until she's fussy (usually
My theory is also that he's probably hungry. Mine still wakes up at least twice to eat at night.
ETA: Ditto pp suggestion and maybe switch bath w/bottle and see if that makes a difference.
First, If he's content (aka not crying or making any kind of upset sounds), leave him be. He'll let you know if he wants something, but, if he's cooing, he's fine.
The baby cuts the night feedings, not y
I am going to Ditto what everyone else has said.
Chances are - he is hungry and needs to eat.
I would definitely switch to where he is eating right before bed. That way he goes to sleep nice and full.
Amelia (4months) is up as few as 2 and sometimes as many as 6 times a night, depending on what's going on with her developmen
1. Bedtime routines are important, but it sounds like yours is taking quite a long time and LO is going to be pretty late. What is their natural wake up time? You should shoot to have them in bed around 12 hours before their natural wake up. It sounds
My LO does wake up in the night sometime and not want to eat, so I don't think waking up automatically means he's hungry.
Having said that, I think your bedtime routine is taking way too long. It's two hours af
Here's an idea, freaking feed your baby.

Was your LO already STTN and then regressed or is this just what he's been doing all along? My LOs are still not STTN (one is 13 lbs and the other 10 1/2 lbs) and they are moving from two night feedings to one b/c they are starting to gradually sleep l
