Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 weeks – Night Waking
What else can I do to get my 11 week old to get through the night without needing water to settle? My baby son is our second baby and we have implemented the routines since birth as we did with our first son. He is very content and we are really enjoying him. However he has not yet slept through from the 10.30pm feed to morning. He slept until 6am twice but apart from that it is anything from 3.55am to 5.15am usually. He was capable of this from a very young age. I have ruled out hunger as he was cutting back a lot on his 7am feed. I…

I feel my 11.5 week baby does not need a night feed but she is unable to settle back with out a dummy. What should I do? My 11 and a half week old baby has gone through the night without feeds a couple of times, I had suspected she did not need them for a while as I was only giving a couple of ounces and she was cutting back on her 7am feed. However, she has now started waking in the night again and the only way I seem to be able to resettle her is to give the dummy. I have tried water which does work but…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 weeks – Night Waking
I cannot get my 9 week son to sleep a longer stretch in the night My 9 week son wakes up consistently at around 2am-4am and continues to wake up every hour until 7am. I cannot get him to sleep longer than an hour stretch after 2am. I have tried to settle him with a dummy, cooled boiled water, pat/sshhing, white noise cd, before feeding him 2.5 ounces which he usually is sick after but he will still cry for more. I don’t want to increase his night feeds and struggle to get him to take more in the day but feel like I have tried everything else. I have…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 weeks – Night Waking
My daughter of 11.5weeks has slept through the night but now wakes again and needs a dummy to resettle her My daughter has been following the routine since she was 3 weeks old and since 9 weeks, started sleeping through from 11pm to 6.45am (when I woke her). The next time she woke in the night, I settled her with a cuddle and some water and she went back to sleep 10-20mins. This had only happened a few times but generally she slept through on most days. All of a sudden, for the past 4 days she has started waking again at around 4am but not really looking for food,…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 weeks – Lunchtime Nap
I’m giving my 10-week-old her lunchtime nap later in the day – does it matter? Hi – my 10-week-old daughter, Alice, has been following Gina’s routines since birth and is a very contented baby. Thank you. However, she is waking up 35-45 minutes after I put her down for her lunchtime nap. I know this is a common problem and I have tried all the tips that Gina suggests to no avail. So that Alice does not get overtired later on in the afternoon, I put her down for an hour and 20 minutes after her 2pm feed. My question, therefore, is does it matter if Alice has her lunchtime…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 weeks – Lunchtime Nap
My 10 week son has problems resettling at lunchtime My 10 week old son has been on the routine for about a month now, but it seems like the moment I get one problem solved, another pops up. Originally I was having problems with the lunchtime nap as well as early morning waking. So I started keeping him awake for 1 hour at the 10pm feed. Since doing this he stirs slightly at 4am, but goes back to sleep and again at 5:50 but goes back to sleep until I wake him at 7. The problem that we still have is his lunchtime nap at 12. At every sleep he…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 weeks – Lunchtime Nap
How can I get my 10-week-old to settle better at the lunchtime nap? Using previous advice you gave about getting my son to sleep without being held, he now settles well at all his naps and sleeps. However I have a problem with him remaining asleep for two hours at the lunchtime nap. He is happy to sleep for 30-45 minutes, but will never return to sleep after this. Sometimes he will be content to lie there for another 30-45 minutes sucking his thumb; at other times he will cry. I have tried the controlled crying method and just leaving him when he does suck his thumb but to no…

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Formula Feeding
My 10 week daughter will only take small feeds so wants to feed every 2 hours My 10 week daughter was breast fed for the first 2 weeks of her life then I changed to formula. The problem I have is that she will only take 4ozs max of formula at each feed. Consequently she is feeding every 2 hours. I have tried doing split feeds as you suggest but she rarely has more feed when I offer it again 20 minutes later. As a result of this her day time sleep is not working! My son was a perfect CLB baby so I am very familiar with the routines.…

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Formula Feeding
At 8.5 weeks my son takes small feeds which seem to lead to disrupted naps I am having problems with my 8.5 week old son’s feeding. My son is not taking on enough milk during the day and we had no weight gain last week, although this has improved this week. He will only take small bottles and seems quite content on them, and is doing well at night. When I feed him he will only take about 3oz and then will wind and then will not take any more. I have tried letting him have a 15 / 20 min break but he still does not feed, often he…

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Formula Feeding
My son of 10.5 weeks is still waking in the night and needing a feed. What can I do to push this on? My 10.5 week old son is still waking around 4ish and taking about 4oz. Should I use ‘hungry baby milk’ at 22.30 feed? My son is fussing a bit over his 5pm milk only taking 2ozs, is this alright or should I reduce his 5-6ozs at 2.30pm? He then takes 3/4ozs at 6.15pm. My son feeds at 7.15am, 5ozs, 10.40am 6ozs, 2.30pm, 5-6ozs, 5pm 2-3ozs, 6.15pm 3-4ozs, 10.30pm 5-6ozs, 4am 4ozs. He naps at 9-9.45am, 11.50-2.15pm and 4.30-5pm. If you have to wake your son at 7am…
