Tan, I hear you...we were up at 4.30 this morning and no amount of settling, bottle or boobie would get her back to sleep. I put her into the cot and let her roll about. She got stuck on her tummy about four times and I had to get up and turn her over anyway, so I should have just gotten up, but 4.30- that's just rediculous!!! I thought 5.00 was wrong but 4.30 is waaaayyy worse!

Her feeding has also been more erratic and I just offer her a feed now all day when she used to feed 3 hrly like clock work. Last week she was really fussy on the breast and I nearly gave up completely (she's 1/2 bf, 1/2 ff) thankfully I didn't because now she's fine and loving it again.

In the last few weeks her sleep routine has changed drastically too. She used to sleep 7.30/8ish until about 3.30/4 and then be up at 6.30 for the day. Now we're up 2-3 times a night at least, bed time is 7/7.30ish usually and wake up time has been 5/5.30. She teased me the other night with a 7.30 bed time, 4am bottle and 7.15 morning wake up, but there was no repeat performance of that.

I think she is going through a growth spurt though. She has just recently learnt to roll properly in the past two weeks or so and she's 'talking' alot and giggling more. She is also having solids now since two weeks ago. SO maybe it's just a combination of it all which means she's unsettled.

I am going with the flow. I was getting anxious about getting up at 5am and I still don't like it- I'm not a morning person, but now I just rest with her in the arvo if I need to. That's why I stayed at home and didn't go bacck to work yet, so I could do what she needs me to do not what I want!

I hope things improve for you soon. I'm sure she'll change again soon. They have to keep us on our toes! Good luck

Kellie.
