Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Daytime Sleep
One of my 5.5mth twins has begun to wake early at the lunchtime nap and seems tired and more clingy through out the day Now that my twins are five and a half months old, their different personalities are really starting to show. My little girl is pretty sanguine about most things and cries very little. She can amuse herself for up to half an hour on her mat or in her chair alone and sleeps well. My boy, though, is getting more and more demanding. He has started waking up from his nap after an hour (despite my gradually almost completely dropping the morning nap) which leaves him grumpy…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Daytime Sleep
My 4.5mth daughter has always needed more sleep than recommended but now is unsettled at naptimes and is waking early for her late feed My daughter has been on the CLB routines since her 7th week of life and taken quite well to them. However, one area of concern has always been her sleep, she always seemed to need more sleep than the routines suggested. Even now at 4 months and 3 weeks old I do not seem to be able to keep her awake for more than 2 hrs at the time. She settles well at all nap times and after the 9:45pm feed provided she has her dummy,…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Daytime Sleep
My 4 month old daughter had been sleeping from 7pm to 7am but now has started to wake at 6.30am. She is then ready to sleep again at 8.30am which affects the whole day. She has also started to wake in her lunchtime nap despite being offered a top up feed before going down. She still naps for 40 minutes in the afternoon and I wonder if this is the cause of her waking at 3am, although she manages to re- settle herself but then wakes early For the last week she has started to wake several times during her lunchtime nap. I have stayed in the house to try…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
My 4.5mth daughter is capable of settling at every nap and sleep except at 7pm. She always wakes after 45minutes My 4.5 month old daughter has always has problems settling at 6.30/ 7pm but in the last 2 weeks it has got increasingly worse. She goes off to sleep well but then always wakes after 45 minutes. I have tried leaving her to re-settle but her crying becomes more persistent and when I go in and pick her up she burps up wind and then cries persistently for up to 30 minutes when she will then take another 30 minutes to fall back to sleep- sometimes longer. I can’t understand…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
My 4mth daughter is difficult to settle at 7pm. We have to resettle her several times or she wakes after 45minutes I have a very unusual problem with my four month old baby which is driving me crazy! My daughter is a great CLB except for one thing – she is terrible at settling at 7pm. She often cries and refuses to settle a few minutes after being put down or, if she does settle well at 7pm, she usually wakes up yelling 45 minutes later. This is really perplexing as, for all of her other sleeps, she settles herself off easily. Indeed, for her day time sleeps she is…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
At 4 months my son is still swaddled for all his naps and sleeps. He recently has been getting out of his swaddle during the night. His Moro reflex is still quite strong. Once awake he cries, unable to go back to sleep. What is the best way to wean him from being swaddled so he learns how to resettle himself without help?

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
I have just started following your routines with my baby girl, who is four months. I know in your books you say it is important that the baby is allowed to settle itself to sleep so they do not learn the wrong sleep associations. Can you explain this in more detail? At the moment I am cuddling my baby to sleep then putting her in a crib, which is slightly larger than a Moses basket, and smaller than a cot. Sometimes she will settle to sleep quickly and sleep the times you recommend. Other times she wakes up within five minutes, and I have to rock the crib to get…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Early Morning Waking
When we are away from home our 4-month-old wakes early in the light room My son of 4 months has been following the CLB routines now since he was 6-weeks-old; we had a few problems initially but now he is a real contented little baby. He has always woken up at around 3.30-4am, but always gets himself back to sleep again as we have sleep trained him to do so. However, when we visit family and friends, the room we have is never as dark as his room at home, which has black-out blinds. So when he wakes during the early hours, he cannot get himself back to sleep. My…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Early Morning Waking
My 5.5-month-old daughter is waking early and not resettling For the past few weeks my daughter has woken between 4.30 and 6am whatever I try to do. She eats well, sleeps well during day and at night, has both blackout blinds and curtains so it is very dark, but still she wakes. I am leaving her from the time she wakes until 6.45. This can mean up to 2 hours of grumbling then crying but is this just teaching her that if she cries long enough I will go to her? She has a breast feed at 6.45am, followed by ½ weetabix with 1 cube pear at 8am. 11am 2ozs…
