There is also the
issue of
nighttime fears and nightmares which increase with age through childhood until a peak (often early childhood) then start to decrease again; these fears are considered cognitively, socially, and emotionally normal [7], but do result in night
wakings that often require parental involvement.
i have an 11 week old girl and am having napping
issues - for approx. 6 weeks now she falls asleep fine but always
wakes up early, very very rarely making it through 1 hr uninterrupted... i've read through a lot of the posts and tried various things such as cutting back on waketime, increasing waketime, cio, etc. but nothing has worked... when she does
wake early i try and get her back down but it does get frustrating at times... her
nighttime sleep is pretty random as well - she's anywhere from 5 - 7rs, sometimes 8 - 8.5 hrs, once 9.5 hrs, then all of a sudden she went back down to 4 - 4.5 hrs... is this normal?
