My 11 week old son wakes at 2am every morning but will settle back to sleep if given a dummy, but continues to wake in the night. Should I feed him? My 11 week son is causing me grief during the night. He has slowly become a very good sleeper, sleeping exactly at the times the CLB routines suggest. I don’t have to even encourage him to sleep at these times. He has adjusted to the CLB feeding schedule; he is not necessarily consistent with the amounts he takes though. I make him 5 scoops of formula to 150ml water, and sometimes he takes all of it, sometimes leaving between…

My 9 week daughter has always woken once in the night but this is now getting earlier and I am not convinced it is caused by hunger Since birth my 9 week old daughter has always woken once a night for a feed anywhere between 2.30am and 6.15am (even going 3 consecutive nights until 6am at 6 weeks) but for the past 10 days she has been waking consistently at 2.30-2.45am and will not settle. I am sure she is not hungry and there is nothing obvious waking her (I have checked room temperature, nappy, noise etc). I have tried resettling her with water and a dummy and once succeeded…

Core night method at nine weeks I am unsure whether I should be doing the core night method with my nine week old daughter, who has been sleeping very regularly to 5am in the morning; we have even had a couple of 6am wakings. However, in the last week we have had a couple of 4am wakings. One night, I tried settling her back to sleep with patting and the dummy, but after an hour I ended up feeding her to get her back to sleep. Another night, I left her to cry for 20 minutes, but she worked herself into such a state that I again resorted to feeding…

My 9-week-old son has recently slept until 6.15 for two nights in a row and then 5.30 for another three, so I thought we were gradually getting to the holy 7am, but the other night (and again last night) he woke at 4am. The first time I tried to use the core night method of settling him with patting or a dummy; patting had no effect so I gave him a dummy, which kept him quiet, but I could tell he wasn’t asleep so I eventually fed him at 5am, and he went back to sleep until 7am. He was then irritable all day which I put down to the…
