Is my 7mth daughter waking through hunger or sleep associations since a recent holiday? My daughter of 7 months has been sleeping through the night from an early age, which has been great up until now. We went on a short holiday where her routine went a bit out of the window. Due to the fact we were out most of the day, her nap times were taken in a push chair and she tended to go to sleep later in the evenings. Since our return she seemed to get back into her routine at first other than the fact she found it very difficult to go down to sleep…

My 6.5mth daughter is waking several times in the night although she is able to resettle herself. Could she be hungry? My daughter was pretty ok with sleeping and feeding, despite a few problems with bottle feeding and she is still not really interested in her milk. Now that she has started solids it all seems to have fallen apart. The lunchtime nap only works 50% of the time but that is not may major concern. She has started to wake several times in the night. I don’t have to go into her as she usually half cries or moans for about 20 minutes at a time before resettling herself.…

My son of 8 months is waking two or three times in the night and will only settle after a drink I need to break my son’s habit of night time waking.

Baby, age 7 months – Waking twice a night My baby is 7 months old and, despite introducing solids at 6 months and feeding him at 10pm, he still continues to wake up twice in the night and refuses to settle back to sleep unless I breast feed him. He weighs nearly 17 pounds and is exclusively breastfed. He settles well at all his other sleep times, so I know it is not a sleep association problem. I have been advised that a baby of his age should not need feeding in the night and that I should sleep train him to stop him waking up for night feeds. We…
