Help with breaking the habit!!

[~Trish~]

Great work! Sometimes bubs just need a little cuddle from mum to get them through .

IKWYM about being used to night waking, my DS2 has just started to sleep right through the night after waking frequently for ages. I kept waking at all the times that he used to wake . It has only been the last two nights that I have slept solidly LOL!

You're doing a great job

Thanks Veronica. I hope so too, but last night was a shocker!!! Her nose is blocked, so she is strugling to breat *sigh*

Alrighty.... so, we have gone three nights now with not feeding when Avaleigh wakes in the middle of the night. First night, only one waking but the past two there have been two wakings. the first waking I have to cuddle and rocking but the sleep, second waking all I need to do is put dummy in, pat bum and Avaleigh settles back to sleep.

How long could it take to get through the whole night again??!!

Its hard when they are so unsettled through the night. DD#1 used to be a shocker, we even went to a sleep and settling place to help us but her undisturbed sleep was due to some trauma that happened at 7 months.
DD#3 though is a different story, she is 9.5 months and gets up once or twice a night for a feed. Im not unhappy with that. It would be great for her to sleep through an 8 hour night but i dont think that possible with breast fed bubs. (correct me if im wrong). I wouldnt say teething would be the problem unless she is really bad during the day, is she? My DD now has 7 teeth and 5 of them have only come over the space of a week. And her day sleeps are the same.

Does DD go down for a sleep after a feed of solids? and does she have solids then a drink? I find that system works for me and she doesnt tend to drink unless she has eaten first anyhow. Also does she self settle? I will give DD a drink then an hour later give her her meal then put her to bed and she is out like a light. Full belly makes for a content bub. The first born is always hard because everything is new.
Im not sure if ive helped or made things more complicated, that wasnt my intention if i have.
