cooper has never slept through but now my anger is setting in .. i used to never mind getting

up but i think cause of 6 mnths they are expected to sleep through i am like why why why..

Bed always 7pm.. some night go wake 11pm feed.. through to 6am.. done this twice and love it!!

other night went from 7pm to 5am... feed... sleep till 6.30am.. then last night and the past

few wake 2am.. feed then wake 5am !!! no wanting to go back to sleep.. give bottle.. pat bum..

or let cry... nothing works.. after an hr or so he goes back to bed sleep till 7am-7.40am.. we

thought we would try crying .. and he ended up so hysterical.. was choking i hated it!!

at 4 months he used to do this and then the past month on and off.. but i cant handle every

morning 5am.. 6am fine.. is there any way to get through it.. he is not hungry really, not cold

as he is warm.. have house heater on.. not that wet..

any advice please!!

i wonder if i just got him up and started day at 5am would he then sleep longer or would it

enforce the habit more??? he is always still tired??

and maybe should i wake him at 11pm every night and see if he sleeps through to 6am like he did

the nights he woke himself??

need sleep

I know just how you feel! Matilda is 8 months in a few days and still wakes one or 2 or more

times a night and every night is different. Just when I think she is starting to get a pattern

going, she changes again and I am totally exhausted! I have tried dreamfeeding at certain times

and nothing makes a difference. If I let her cry she gets hysterical and chokes too like

Cooper.

I took her to the CHN last week for this and the first thing she told me was "dont let anyone

tell you that just because she is 7 months old she should be sleeping through". She told me

that some babies just cant do it until they are closer to 12 months, and that if the baby has a

high metabolism they will still be hungry through the night and need feeding so if you think

that bub is hungry then feed.

I have tried Tizzie Hall's routine, wrapping again, heater, more blankets, changing bedtime and

bedtime routine, dreamfeeding, music, nightlights, etc etc and the only things I have found

that have made any difference were a vaporiser in her room (think it was getting a bit dry from

the heater) and a lullabub cot rocker. The lullabub has a remote which we leave outside her

door and when she stirs we turn it on without having to go into the room and 9 times out of 10

she will go back to sleep.

Perhaps with the 5am wake up you could get him up but not feed him until 6am. After a few days

he might realise that there is no point getting up that early because he is not getting

anything, and he might not bother anymore!

I spent heaps of time with the CHN so PM me if you want anymore info.

Hope you get some sleep soon

Your correct they changed this. The text is now in the language file. I was going to install osdate and see what was going on but being I cant get it to install Im going to have to pass this on to someone else. Hopefully theyll answer your soon. Sorry for the trouble.
