Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Other
My daughter is unsettled during the morning and evening at 8 weeks old Although my daughter feeds at the approx times stated in the book, I find sleep in the day a bit hit and miss. She is very awake in the morning and does not settle well for her morning sleep; she cat naps and does not like being in her cot in the day. Because of this she is very tired and therefore she is only lasting to approx 11-11.30 am when has a good sleep. She then wakes any time from 1pm onwards, having a knock-on effect that she sleeps again at 3 not 4pm. Due to…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Daytime Sleep
My 9 week son sleeps well at night but is difficult to settle in the day My 9 week old struggles to take a morning nap. He sometimes goes down for a lunchtime nap but can waken after an hour in which case I cannot get him back to sleep, which results in a really cranky baby from about 3.30 onwards until bed time. My husband and I are at our wits end with the constant crying all day if we can’t get him to take his naps. He is an excellent baby at night. He goes down no problem at 7pm, gets woken up for the 10.30pm feed and…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Daytime Sleep
My 10-week-old daughter has started to be unsettled in the evenings. What am I doing wrong? For the last week my 10-week-old daughter will not settle at 6.30/7pm. She settles well at other naps and has been going through the night since six weeks. I wake her at 5pm for her split feed of 4ozs. I have tried to drop this but she is always hungry and demanding food at this time. Sometimes even after this she is still crying for more food. I bath her around 5.45pm and start to feed her again at 6pm. She normally falls asleep on me after this feed so I will end up…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Daytime Sleep
My 11.5-week-old daughter will settle for her daytime naps but wakes after 30-45minutes and is hard to settle again I have already been given a pretty detailed response by the Team about my daughter and her not wanting to sleep in the day. I have followed this but the advice unfortunately did not work fully, very frustrating! Certainly the advice on wind down was of some help and she will go down now but wake up after 30 minute or sometimes 45 minutes at every nap. For the morning nap I take her for a walk in the pram and she sleeps just fine, coming round after 30 minutes but…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Daytime Sleep
My 10 week old twins have begun to refuse to settle themselves in the day for naps, despite sleeping well at night My 10 week twin girls are sleeping after the 11pm feed through to 6/7am. They started off as easy to settle and were following the routine well. In the last week the girls are refusing to settle themselves to sleep during the day. We return from dropping my 3 year old to pre-school and they scream through their morning nap. I eventually feed them as close to 11am as possible but sometimes as early as 10.15am. I try to entertain them a little if they manage to stay…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Settling/Sleep Association
I am new to the routines and am trying to get my 11 week daughter to settle better without a dummy I would like to know a little more about crying down. I have successfully used controlled crying techniques with my older son, when he was a year, but it is recommended by Dr Ferber that these are only used on babies over 5 to 6 months. I have been struggling with my 11 week old daughter for 11 weeks now! She was very colicky (I think), fretful anyway all evening and wouldn’t settle until at least midnight, until very recently, when I think she was no longer in pain…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Settling/Sleep Association
My 8 week old son always needs resettling in the evening. I am concerned it may become a problem My son is in the perfect routine; he settles himself nicely and is waking up contented before I even get into his bedroom after his day time sleeps. He goes to bed in the evening well – normally around 6.45 (so that I can get the older child settled for 7pm), but the he wakes up between 7.30 and 7.45pm crying. The only way I can settle him is by picking him up and cuddling him for about 3min. He goes back into his bed awake and settles himself back to…

My 10 week old son does not settle well in the evenings My son is 10 weeks old; he is well established on 5 feeds a day as per the CLB routine for 8 – 12 weeks. He naps well during the day in the morning, at lunch time and in the afternoon, however he will not settle when we put him in his cot at 6.30 – 7.00 pm and has not done so since he was 4 weeks old. I feel like we have tried everything! He has a bedtime routine of a bath at 5.30 and then his feed at 6.00 and then bed at around 6.30…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Settling/Sleep Association
Should I just go “cold turkey” taking my 11 week old daughters dummy away as she only needs it to settle in the early morning? My 11 week old daughter is waking at around 4.30/5.00 every morning for the last week. She settles well in the evening and only has 3 hours (sometimes less, as the lunchtime nap often goes wrong) sleep in the day. I am concerned it is linked to her becoming dependant on her dummy as when I go in and give her a dummy she goes back to sleep, sometimes waking again but then settling once the dummy is in her mouth. She will then sleep…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Early Morning Waking
My 8 week son is still feeding in the night but then wakes again around 5.30am. Surely this is not hunger? My son of 8 weeks is fed at 10.30pm and goes through until 3.45/4am. He will take 3-4ozs of formula then is settled back by 4.30am. For the last two nights he has woken screaming at 5.30/45am. What could be the reason for this waking? Surely he is not hungry? I manage to settle him with a dummy and cuddle and then have to wake him at 7am. Should I think abut settling him with water at 4am and seeing what happens then? I have also started to half…
