What happens in the night when she wakes? Does she just need to be soothed? or do you feed her? How long is she up? Also, what is your wake time between naps. Maybe she is getting overtired preventing her from napping longer than 1 hour at a time. Let me know :) Hope I can help!TheLovelyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702203661763057691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-67602476247047750912016-06-07T11:17:33.527-07:002016-06-07T11:17:33.527-07:00My daughter has doesn't typically sleep thru t...My daughter has doesn't typically sleep thru the night, or at least not 10 hours. We do have a great bedtime routine we stick to, and she is breastfed. She is 7 months now, and some nights she'll sleep 8 or 9 hours and some nights (like last night) she slept 5 and was back up and then slept another 4. We supliment during the day, and she eats very well! As much as 6 oz of food with 2 to 4 oz of formula at many meals. She naps maybe an hour at a time twice a day, so she's getting 10 to 11 hours of sleep total a day. <br /><br />My question to you is how do we get her to sleep more at night? Longer naps would be good, but one thing at a time. My oldest was never a sleeper. She still isn't at 17! Their father isn't a sleeper either, so I'm wondering if this is just a family trait?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911178970270942673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-20861484497010998062016-04-21T06:10:16.908-07:002016-04-21T06:10:16.908-07:00Hey Rachel!

It literally makes me sick to my stomach reading other blogs about how cruel cio is and how babies need to be fed in demand 24-7, and every whimper needs to be attended to. That's not founded in sound scientific knowledge of child development! People proud of giving their babies serious sleep problems! Ludecrus. Loved reading this blog, breath of fresh air. All my babies have been sleeping through by 12 weeks. For some fantastic background reading, based on the latest scientific research, "The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan" builds on everything this blog says in more detail. Only parenting book I have ever read that references academic research!

I stumbled across this on pinterest and I'...Hi! I stumbled across this on pinterest and I'm hoping you see this! :) My son is 10.5 months old and I'm stumped. I didn't do this on purpose, but he nurses to sleep. He just ends up eating around 7 and he falls asleep and stays asleep from then on... he typically nurses once more for a "dream feed" as you describe, and then will wake up around 6am. He did that from about 4 mos till 6 mos, then started waking up once more around 2 am. He periodically will wake up more if he's having tummy issues or teething. I feel like he's just on the habit of waking up like that. Because he falls asleep nursing (which I can't keep him awake without him getting angry) I have never put him down awake. He's had reflux issues and a dairy intolerance so it's been tough and he needs soothing typically to sleep. He takes 2-3 naps throughout the day, usually an hour or less. I'm worried that I've missed the boat on making a good sleep routine! :( Any advice??Tamminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-63428689527347835682016-02-07T06:06:56.840-08:002016-02-07T06:06:56.840-08:00Hello!

My proble...I would love a daytime schedule as well! My problem is that my almost 5-month-old twin girls share a room, but they do have separate cribs. If one of them is crying long and loud enough, it wakes the other baby up. Then we have two fussy babies on our hands. We have been grabbing the crying baby to rock just so she doesn't wake up her sister. How do you do this with twins? They do sleep through the night, but it's sporadic at best.Gabbie Goodieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553733201300589369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-625648050624540172015-12-15T18:46:34.218-08:002015-12-15T18:46:34.218-08:00Thanks for sharing your experience!

I used breastfeeding as a way to put off fertility, so I did things like co-sleeping and night feedings. Just roll over and give the baby the boob and bam: both momma and baby sleep, lol. But for mothers who don't care about the contraceptive effects of ecological breastfeeding, they will have to follow different rules to have baby sleep through the night.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323434810807399782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-30434076960395996692015-12-01T09:56:08.848-08:002015-12-01T09:56:08.848-08:00Key words: supplement!

I always give him at least 10-15 minutes before I go in and check on him, and he always seems hungry (or at least will go back to sleep after I feed him).

My baby is now 5 months old and he has been sleeping through 12 hours a night since 3 months old. We did everything you have written about and it works. The only time we intervene is if he's cried for more than 10 minutes, and even then it's usually something simple like he's kicked the blankets off or his teething is sore. :) Nothing you have written is cruel to your baby as many claim - you're just listening to what your baby wants and providing them with secure and obvious boundaries and routines... :) a great example of how it doesn't all have to be baby-led, you can lead them towards sleeping well and being rested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-60231757750332025162015-03-28T08:39:54.663-07:002015-03-28T08:39:54.663-07:00Sorry these replies came out all scattered, see th...Sorry these replies came out all scattered, see the first comment below for the first replyTheLovelyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702203661763057691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-59311190829072227502015-03-28T08:39:22.524-07:002015-03-28T08:39:22.524-07:00But definitely make sure he is getting enough form...But definitely make sure he is getting enough formula throughout the day which I believe is a minimum of 24 ounces, and check with your pediatrician of course before making any changes:) but yes that's what I would do slowly wean from that bottle in the middle the night, Mama needs her rest to!TheLovelyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702203661763057691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-22963041220833206192015-03-28T08:38:16.825-07:002015-03-28T08:38:16.825-07:00Hi Maria!

So to clarify he seems to be waking up around three in the morning to have about 5 ounces of formula? How much is he getting total during the day formula? And do you think he's having a good amount of solids? If he is having enough formula and solids then it seems like he might be waking out of habit (possibly a growth spurt but those don't last more than 1 to 2 weeks I believeI would try to slowly wean him from that middle of the night feeding start by giving him 4 1/2 to 5 ounces for a couple nights then go down to 3 1/2 to a couple nights etc. etc. and hopefully he will start just sleeping throughTheLovelyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702203661763057691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622691352726908098.post-58316183662153275092015-03-26T18:25:46.679-07:002015-03-26T18:25:46.679-07:00I love your blog!

It took about 4 months until he was feeling better from his allergy and colic had passed. He wasn't on a specific schedule besides waking and falling asleep at night at the same time, was hard because of all the formula we were trying to find one he could have and colic. He wakes up once now most of the time around 3 am-ish for a feeding. He naps twice a day about 2.5 hours total. any tips for getting that extra feeding in throughout the day instead of at night? He's on a schedule which is a good one but he's missing that one feeding. I try to get as much solids in and formula as I can. Maybe it's out of habit? Although he seems hungry not fussy, he will have 5-6 oz. maybe it's he needs more solids which but if I give him solids first he won't have his bottle only 2-3 oz...he's doing great on his schedule and waking up once isn't terrible but I know he is capable of sleeping through the night. Any tips would be so helpful! Thank you! MariaNoeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127045766526938449noreply@blogger.com
