Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Trouble with Sleeping

Please help!  I have a 4 1/2 month old who would previously sleep from about 10pm-6am without waking.  Recently she picked up a nasty cold and pink eye so we understandably battled nighttime sleep.  However, she has been well for about 3 weeks now and we find ourselves back to the old routine of about 2 wake up sessions each night.  We've tried earlier and later bedtime, more or less clothing, rice cereal before bed, etc. to no avail.  Any suggestions on how to get her back on an all night sleep schedule would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  • Honestly, it's the age and there's not much you can do other than let the grow into it. At this stage they are "thinking" more in their sleep and practicing new skills which wakes them up. It's also a growth spurt age so they wake up hungry.

  • Thank you!  Some of my Facebook Mom's are telling me the same- just happy to hear it's normal.  She's my first so I'm still learning :)
