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…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Settling/Sleep Association
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…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Night Waking
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…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Night Waking
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…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Night Waking
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…
