Hi Ladies. I've been racking my brain to find a gentle way to change this: for the past 3 weeks Kai (4 1/2 months) has been waking up every 1/2 hour after going to bed and will only re-settle with the boob. In the past, we would get him to sleep at 6:50, after a 'feed-bath-feed' routine. For a while after we started cluster-feeding, he would wake after 1/2 hour but would easily re-settle with the dummy + head-stroking. Then he stopped that wake-up. Don't know what changed, at first I thought it was because we went away for a few days, then I thought it was because his teeth were bothering him, now I'm thinking it's just a bad habit. He still goes to sleep easily enough, but wakes at 7:30, 8:00 + 8:30 and gets REALLY upset if we try to dummy him. I am finding it pretty irritating - I only have 2 1/2 hours a day with hubby and this is really intruding on our time. Plus it is making eating dinner pretty difficult. Any suggestions? Thanks!
