Typically if baby was sleeping well and then starts taking a long time to fall asleep, you need to
add some waketime length.
The short answer is that you don't
add waketime, you wait for him to be ready.
Not exact matches
I also kept up the dreamfeed longer than he probably needed it and
added a 1:30 am pumping (he had been STTN for a couple months) and woke him to feed him at 5:00 am (normal morning
waketime is 8:00).
Try
adding only five minutes to the
waketimes that she is not sleeping well for.
Also, in reading about your working with Kaitlyn on her
waketimes, I was wondering if you meant that each week she mastered a
waketime (week one, mastered the first morning
waketime, week two the second, etc.) and that you kept
adding one or if you just worked on one and then the next week worked on another, allowing her to sleep immediately after her feeding in the morning if necessary.
I would first try to tone down stimulation and then if that dosn't work,
add five minutes
waketime at a time.
If
waketime stayed the same and she then started waking early, try
adding more
waketime.
I have a post called «
waketime:
adding, extending, calculating» or something like that.
Another thought is to
add some more stimulation to her
waketime activity, but be careful you don't
add to much.
I would try
adding 5 - 10 minutes of
waketime length.
