I found that getting up 15 mins before Erynn is due to wake and giveing her a night feed is the best way of doing it. I was doind a dream feed at 10pm but then she would want another feed at 2am so we have been waiting til 12am then she wants another feed at 4am which we have been gradually pushing out by 15mins. DH and I have a book that we write down the times of her feeds and have used it ever since we bought her home from the hospital. Its great because it allows me to see any patterns which are emerging. Erynn feeds 3 to four hourly during the day but her bath and bottle is always between 5.30 and 6.30. I have also noticed that keeping her up for more than an hour was making things worse. Erynn is back in bed after 45mins and she self settles and snoozes for a couple of hours at a time. Just remember that keeping a little one up for over an hour can be too much for them. I read an article in a magazine that said sleep begets sleep.
