My baby aged nearly seven months has been happily following your routines for a few months. His daytime sleep is erratic, especially on nursery days, and he is now waking at 5am with a dirty nappy and ready to start the day My baby aged nearly seven months has been happily following your routine, since Christmas. Since starting nursery 5 weeks ago his daytime sleep has become very erratic. Some days he sleeps for a total of 2.5 hours, others for only 1 hour. On non-nursery days, his daytime sleep is fine, but he always naps in the late afternoon. He used to wake at 5.30 – 6.00am, chatter for…

My 7month old son has recently started to wake between 4am and 6.15am. Having read all the advice I understand I need to offer him a feed and get him back to sleep. This I do but if he wakes after 5.30am he will not go back to sleep after having a feed. Should I wait for 15 minutes to see if he will settle himself before I offer him a feed at this time in the morning or go straight in and feed him? I have moved his daytime naps forward and try to give him a small breastfeed at 2.30pm so he will eat a good tea. Feeding…

My daughter of nearly seven months used to sleep 7pm-7am. But now she has begun to wake at 6am chatting loudly. I have followed the CLB routines and read advice on the site about pushing on daytime naps. She settles within five minutes of going down at 7pm.

As your baby has given up her afternoon nap, the problem could be caused by overtiredness. Babies of your daughter’s age who fall straight into a deep sleep at 7pm…

My baby boy, who is just over six and a half months, used to sleep through from 7.30pm to 7am, with naps at 9am, noon, and a short nap at 4.30pm. During the last couple of weeks he has started waking up earlier, and despite the introduction of solids at lunch and teatime, he is waking regularly at 5.45am. We tried reintroducing a small feed at 10pm, but he is in such a deep sleep he took only an ounce or so. We have also tried leaving him to see if he will settle back to sleep, but he just cries on and off until we eventually go to him.…

Baby, age 7 months – Early morning waking My daughter, age seven and half months, has begun to wake up earlier and earlier. This last week it has been around 5.30am every morning. I have tried leaving her to cry, but she works herself up into such a state that it wakes my toddler up. She eats really well and sleeps well for an hour between 9am and 10am and two hours from 12 noon. She used to go to bed at 7pm but since the early-morning waking I am having to put her down around 6.30pm as she is so tired. With a toddler of eighteen months I am…
