I dont know if my 7mth old son’s waking is due to hunger, teething or habit? A former problem of my son vomiting at bedtime and so waking hungry in the night has been solved. However the night time waking has continued and after 4 wks of very little sleep I am at desperation point as to where I am going wrong. I did think that the waking could be due to teething – over the past 3 wks he has been cutting his 3 top teeth which has caused runny nose and lots of hand chewing and I do remember that the bottom 2 at 16wks did cause some…

My 7 month baby wakes every night at the same time but is never upset My son of 7 months has followed the routines since he was 9 weeks old. He is a very contented baby, but has started waking around 4.30am. This has been exaggerated by the recent clock change as he was waking at 5.30am. He is happy to stay in his cot talking away to himself and sucking his thumb. He sometimes goes back into a light sleep but more often her stays awake. But he never cries. He is not hungry as he is content to wait for us to get his breakfast with out making…

How can I stop my 6 month daughter waking at 4am every morning? My daughter has followed the routines since 1 month old. In the beginning she would cry every time she was put down, but I persevered and up until last month she was a contented baby. I am now having the problem of her waking every morning around 4am. She settles well at 6.45/7pm. I have tried leaving her to settle herself back to sleep but it is just not working. I put a music box in her room but that is not working either. Is there anything else I can do to sort the problem out? She…

What can I do to get my 8.5mth old son to sleep through the night? I am trying to get my son to sleep through the night but he just won’t. He’ll sleep from 7.00pm – 10.00pm and I go to feed him but then a little while later he wakes up again and just won’t settle back down. I end up going to bed then and taking him in with me. He is fully breast fed, and was weaned at 6mths. He takes one side at most feeds which takes him between 5-10mins. He takes these feeds at 7am, 9am, 12am, 3pm, 6.30pm and 10pm. For breakfast he takes…

My 7 month son has started to wake at night, but I am slightly confused as to why My son, who is just 7 mths, has slept well through the night since eight weeks. But, for the past three weeks, he has been waking in the night. He does not wake every night- it has averaged out as one in every three nights. Although I have found similar questions on the website and have posted a question on the message boards, I feel I have tried every suggestion given and I am running out of ideas. We originally thought it was teething as he did not seem that well in…

My daughter of 6.5mths is still waking in the night and needing small feeds to settle her My daughter is 24 weeks and has never slept well at night, although she goes down awake, is well tucked in and all the things such as darkness have been looked at. I think her wakings were due to hunger because after we started weaning, once she was taking a decent amount, she slept through the night 4 times. Then she got a really awful cough and cold, and now conjunctivitis as well. She has been unwell for a month now and has only gained 5 oz in the last 5 weeks. The…

My 7mth son wakes in the night for an hour or two. This makes him tired in the daytime. What can I do? My 7mth son suffers from reflux but I don’t think this has anything to do with this. He is up or is woken at 7.30am. He takes his reflux medication and then his feed and breakfast. He takes two naps a day. We dropped his afternoon catnap as this meant he was not ready to settle at 7.30pm. My son has always had a problem sleeping through the night but has managed 11.30pm -7.30am a number of times. We were dream feeding at 11.30pm but he then…
