Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Night Waking
My 4mth daughter, who is fully breast fed, recently started to wake in the night, even since weaning she has continued to do so My 4mth daughter has been the best advertisement for the Contented Baby book there is. She has been sleeping through from 11pm to 7pm since she was 6 weeks old. We have followed the plan religiously and she is a very happy baby who never ever cries. However, 2 weeks ago she started waking up at 6am. Then around 4 days later she woke at 4am and then again at 6am. For the last 4 nights she has been waking up at 2am, 4am and then…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Night Waking
Since traveling I have been unable to get my 4mth son back onto a routine. He is waking hungry twice in the night My 4 month old son is struggling to sleep through from the last feed at 10 – 10:30pm until 6 -7 am. We started him on the routines at 4 – 7 weeks quite successfully – he really responded well. But at 7 week we traveled to Australia from the UK, and for the next 6 weeks it was incredibly difficult to stick to the routines.

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Lunchtime Nap
My 4mth daughter always wakes after the first 30 minutes of her lunchtime nap and then is slow to settle back again For the last two weeks we have had great problems with lunchtime nap. My daughter wakes up after exactly 30 minutes and can stay awake for 1.5 hours before falling back to sleep. She has always had her lunchtime nap in the carrycot when we are out for walks. I have tried to be in quiet places after the first 25 minutes of sleep, but have also tried more noisy places, either way she wakes up after 30 minutes. She never cries, only opens her eyes and is…

Sleeping FAQ: 4-6 Months – Lunchtime Nap
Despite trying with controlled crying for over a week I cannot get my 6mth son to settle when he stirs in the lunch time nap My son will not sleep at lunch time. He goes off at 12.00 and wakes 30 minutes later and will not go back to sleep. I have been trying now for about 10 days doing the controlled crying method and it does not seem to be working. Sometimes he will go for one hour before waking and then will cry until it is time to get up. I have read all the case studies etc but I cannot seem to work out what the problem…
