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.
NBCWebster, I keep the three hours going until the baby sleeps from dreamfeed until
morning waketime.
For the older baby, it would be from DF to
morning waketime — meaning no night feedings.
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).
It just might take you longer to get to her sleeping until
your morning waketime.
Not exact matches
Here's how it goes: - Early
morning (includes
waketime)- if we start our day at 7 am, isn't that this feeding?
Some
mornings he will sleep until 6:30 and eat and fall back asleep until our
waketime at 8, but then he won't eat again at 8 so he is missing one whole feeding and doing fine.
The only thing I feel really confident in is the going - to - bed - routine... he has always fallen asleep earlier, his bedtime is usually around 6:30 pm and he goes down like a champ and is usually out for 4 or 5 hours... his
waketime in the
morning is also around 6:30 am - 7 am... where should I go from there?
I'm not sure if she's getting too much
waketime before that first nap... I usually go walking with her in the
morning and often she'll fall asleep in the stroller and when I get home I'll put her in bed, but I've also tried nixing the walk and scheduling just an hour or so of
waketime so she won't be as sleepy going down for a nap and she still rises early.
KMonti, have you read the post «early
morning feedings before
waketime»?
But know that since her last feeding of the day is at 6:30, she likely won't be able to make it much past that in the
morning, so her
waketime would be 6:30 - 7:00 ish.
Sometimes a
morning feeding will be followed by
waketime until the next feeding (not neccessarily crying, just awake, even though we put her down for a nap).
I have tried putting him down sooner (we have found that about an hour is good
waketime for him - in the
mornings sometimes he shows signs at 40 min, in the daytime and evening sometimes never shows signs but we put him down no more than 1 hr 15 min) but that hasn't helped.
