Tried leaving him.. he did not fancy going back to sleep at all 😂
@Nicole yes stopped this now! Only been stopped a week. He’s still on 5 bottles a day between 6/7ozs and in the morning he now feeds no later than 30 mins of being awake instead of over an hour. He’s also on rice or a purée on an evening around an hour before his bottle before bed. Then we dream feed around 10. X
@Sophie aw fab! I’ll definitely give that a go tonight 😂🤞
Can I ask with you mentioning the feeding when waking, have you managed to stop this? Did little one just go back to sleep after you left him? X
This sounds exactly like my little one, although she's still in our room in the next to me. I have tried her into her own room and she has woken up, but adamant I want to put her in now as I'm starting to put her into bed with me when she's up in the middle of the night as its convenient, but I'm back at work next year and need to make sure she settles properly in her own room. Thanks.for posting this, it's given me hope! Xx
@Holly good luck tonight! I hope it goes well for you. And thank you ☺️. @Emma do what feels best to you. If you want to wait until the cold has gone then wait. It’s a scary thing not having them next to you and I totally get why people put it off for months. I’ve still got the next to me up just in case 😂 x
@Louise I was the exact same when my LB woke up babbling 😂. Now I just leave him to it and within 15/20 mins he’s back to sleep! If he cries I know he needs me. The time is decreasing each night too for how long he’s awake for x
We’re moving soon for this reason just need to get a mattress! With the waking up babbling, my son does this - so you just leave him be? I always find I’ll cuddle him to sleep for fear or waking people up 😂
I was going to start this at the weekend, but my LB is full of cold 😓 I think we need to just bite the bullet as he’s waking himself up 10 - 15 times a night now xx
My little girl is 5 months on Saturday and we are giving it ago tonight! She’s outgrown her next to me and wakes herself up unable to roll/ move! She napped for 1 hour 10 mins in her cot this morning so tonight is the night! Thank you for sharing your story! Gives me hope 🤞🏼🤞🏼 hope it continues for you!!
@Louise oh 😂 that’s naff! Clearly didn’t get the message 😂 I have fingers crossed it might work soon! X
