Sleeping FAQ: 6-9 Months – Other
How do I get my 7 month old adjusted to New York time after an evening flight? I have a question about travelling with babies and how to adjust the routine with time differences. We have just returned from a trip to France and booked an evening flight which seemed to work as my 7mth slept on and off all the way home, but the time difference was only 1 hour so it was easy to adjust. However, we are planning to go to New York at Christmas and she will be 10 months then. Again we have booked an evening flight which departs at 6pm and arrives at 9pm…

My 8.5mth daughter has learnt to roll onto her front but she cannot get back again and so wakes up several times a night screaming My 8.5mth daughter seems to be waking through the night because she has learnt to turn onto her stomach. But she hates this position and then screams as she can’t turn back over. This happened 8 times last night. What can I do about it? Until your daughter learns to roll both ways with ease you may have to go in to her room at night and help her move onto her back. To help her be able to do this without needing your help,…

Sleeping FAQ: 6-9 Months – Daytime Sleep
Will my 8-month-old cut back on his long morning sleep when he is ready? I have been fairly successful with the CLB routines so far. The only problem I have at the moment is that my son is very awkward at taking his 2.30pm feed and at nearly 8 months I thought that it is either his teeth bothering him or that he is simply ready to drop this feed. Today and a day last week I was forced to alter the routine to take my son to eczema clinic. It has been two of the best days we have had recently. It went as follows: 7.00am: Woke, drank 5…

Sleeping FAQ: 6-9 Months – Daytime Sleep
Should I cut out my 8-month-old daughter’s morning nap? My daughter is now 8 months old and I am wondering if I need to re-structure her day-time sleep. She wakes between 7/7.30am and has breakfast and then I try to put her down for a nap at 9.30am but for the last week she has chattered/whined for half an hour before eventually falling asleep at 10 for 30 minutes. I’m not sure whether to leave her or not put her down at all or just put her down at 10am. Her lunch time nap is very hit and miss. I put her down between 12.30/1pm; she sometimes has difficulty settling…

Sleeping FAQ: 6-9 Months – Daytime Sleep
We start our day early so I am not sure if my 7.5mth son is ready yet to drop his afternoon nap I am not sure when to drop my 7.5mth son’s afternoon nap. We have to start our day at 6.15 for work and nursery and he sleeps well through out the day and night going from 7pm to 6.15 am. His lunch time nap varies from 1 and a half hours to 2 hours sleep, but he is still having his afternoon nap at 4/415 for 30 minutes. I can keep him awake but he becomes more miserable in the evening. Having the nap doesn’t affect his night…

How do I adjust the routines for my twins of 7.5mths so they are waking at 7.30am? My twins are 7.5 months old now and they are sleeping until 7am with only 90 ml at 10 pm which I will decrease to 60 ml and drop all together in the next couple of weeks.

They still have milk at 7.15am, 11.45am, 2.45 pm, 6.30 pm and around 90 ml at 10 pm. My question is about the timings of the routine. I’d like them to wake up around 7.30am. In your books and…

Sleeping FAQ: 6-9 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
My 6.5mth daughter has always needed help in getting to sleep. She has now started to wake every 2-3hours throughout the night and is unable to resettle herself Until about a week ago my 6.5month daughter slept through the night from about 6:45pm through to 6:30am.

Now she goes down at about 7pm and then wakes up 2-3 hours later screaming, we go in to check on her, reassure her and she goes to sleep again, this then repeats every two hours all night until…

Sleeping FAQ: 6-9 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
How do I get my six-month old son used to sleeping in a cot in his own room? He cries the minute that I put him in his cot, and it can take up to an hour to settle him to sleep. He then wakes up crying within 45 minutes to an hour. I go to him, almost immediately, and start first of all by putting his dummy in. If this doesn’t work I then offer him a bottle of milk. If this doesn’t work I usually resort to picking him up and rocking him to sleep. However, he will wake up again quite soon and sometimes as soon as I put him back…
