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?
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.
