Feeding FAQ: 3-4 months – Breast Feeding
My 3mth son is constantly unhappy long before feeds are due and he finds it hard to settle to sleep We started the CLB routines when my son was 10 weeks old, and in order not to be too harsh, we put him on the 4-8 weeks routine first and gradually advanced to the 8-12 weeks routine. My son is always fretting after his morning nap. He never sleeps more than 45 minutes and is usually awake after 30 minutes. For the first time in 4 weeks after putting him on the routine, I gave him 40 ml expressed milk and 60 ml formula milk this morning (On normal days,…

Feeding FAQ: 3-4 months – Breast Feeding
My son of 15 weeks is still waking two or three times in the night I have a 3 year old son who was introduced to Gina’s routines after an awful first 2 months. It took 6 days of the routines until he slept through the night and he has been a contented child ever since – we never looked back and it was the best thing we ever did. So I know that Gina’s routines do work because I know that my eldest son was simply hideous before I put him into the routine but I am beginning to think that maybe it was a case of beginners luck…

Feeding FAQ: 3-4 months – Breast Feeding
My daughter of almost 4 months old has started to wake earlier in the night and needs feeding to settle her back to sleep. Up until 2 weeks ago, my daughter of almost 4 months old had been sleeping until 5am after her last feed of formula at 10:30pm. I had been following the core night method and she did manage to sleep through until 7am on two occasions. However, now she is waking up any time between 3am and 5am. She will no longer accept cool boiled water or a dummy but will only settle if I give her a full feed. Once I have fed her she will…

13-week-old Charlie’s sleeping has gone wrong – is it jetlag? Hi. Firstly can I say I think your book is brilliant. We have used it from day one on our baby and swear by it and have recommended it to many friends. We are living in Switzerland and have recently been back to NZ for a month. Charlie, our 13-week-old baby, slotted in very well to his routine after about a day in NZ but on our return he he has started waking in the night – we are thinking maybe due to jetlag. He had started sleeping through from 11pm-7am just before we left Switzerland when he was about…

3-month growth spurt My son is 13 weeks old. He was 8lb 1 at birth and at 12 weeks was 15lb 5oz. He is breastfed. I am having problems with his sleeping both at lunchtime and in the night. I feed him at 7am, 10.15/30am, 2.15/30pm, a split feed at 5.15pm and 6.15pm and then again at 10pm. He feeds well at all times (even 10pm if we try particularly hard) and cries to be fed at 10.15am and 5.15pm so I have not been able to push the feeds to 11am and after the bath. At night his waking is inconsistent but he generally wakes up between 3am-5am and…

How can I prevent my son of 14 weeks from waking himself by banging against the cot? My son is 14-weeks-old. Since he was six weeks old he has slept in his cot. Following the CLB advice I put him in a 0.5tog sleeping bag which I secured under the mattress. I used a thin cotton sheet and cellular blanket over him secured with two rolled towels down the sides. All was well for about six weeks but he has now started to move diagonally up the cot and bang his head on the side. He sometimes wakes 3 times in the night. It could be because he has banged…

Sleeping FAQ: 3-4 Months – Daytime Sleep
My 9-week-old can only stay awake for an hour at a time Gina’s routine works well for my 9-week-old son. At night he is taking 4oz after his bath and falling asleep by 7pm, waking at 10.30pm for another 4oz. He then he goes until 4/5/6am (it varies at the moment). We start the days at 7am but my problem is that he falls asleep without exception about an hour after the first feed starts, similarly this happens after the 10am feed, so his naps are always early and this throws everything else out of sync, and we never make it to 2pm for the next feed as he is…

At 3 months my daughter is being disturbed in the day by the household noise My husband is away on business for 6 weeks, so I have come to stay with my parents. My home is in the countryside and it is very quiet outside. My daughter has become used to sleeping in a quiet environment. Our home is very soundproof and if I knew there was going to be some noise outside I would switch on some white noise in her room so her sleep was not disturbed. Now we are staying with my parents who live on a road with cars and lorries frequently going past. There are…

How can adjust my 15 week daughter’s daytime nap times so she sleeps longer in the middle of the day? My 15 week daughter is very small for her age and more sleepy than most. She gets very angry if I try to shorten her morning nap as she likes to have her two and a half hour sleep in the morning. She suffers food allergies and eczema so never really gets a good nights sleep. She wants to feed up to 3 times in the night for comfort due to the itching. Due to her allergies we won’t start her on solids until as late as possible and we’re…
