Routine tweak?
« on: March 14, 2017, 06:11:10 am »
Can someone please look at my routine to see what I can do to tweak it? My 4 month old is waking at 5.45!!

Wake 5.45 - I give the dummy to try and extend him- sometimes it works?!? (he sleeps without it)
Wake 6.30
E 7.00 9oz (he doesn't cry for milk in the morning and I'd like to start the day at 7 so always I feed him at 7am)
A
S 9.00-11.00
E 11.00 9oz
A
S 1.00-3.00
E 3.00 9oz
A
S 5.00-5.45
A Bath
E 7.00 9oz
A wind down time
S 7.30
E Dream feed at 10.00 5oz (if I give more that this he doesn't take as much in the morning)

The best night we have had so far is when he napped at 4-5 and end to bed at 7. But I can't figure out how to get the map that early!

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Many thanks :-)

Could you try moving the dream feed to 10:30? He might be hungry. It's the first thing I'd try because your routine looks good and I would stick to that morning nap time if you wake up to be closer to 7.

That 5 oclock hour is tricky bc the body temp changes and is the middle of light sleep (between 4-6am). Is light coming in or anything else that might wake him?

On a good day does he wake closer to 7?
