Hi,thanks for getting back to me. Like you i have other children, he is my 4th, and i dont remember them being like this. Well i had the night from hell last night.He had his last bottle at 10pm settled down fine, but only to wake up at 230am,was giving him his dummy then until 415am, and then he just wouldnt stop crying, so i gave him a bottle(something i havent done at that time for a while)and some calpol, and he settled back to sleep until 630am.He has started solids a few days ago, dont know if this has anything to do with it. I really am at my wits end now.

hi Nicky, i had the same prob with my now 16 week old up til a few weeks ago. He was having his last feed at around 10pm and then sleeping til 8am. Gradually he started wanting his feed earlier and earlier every night and now he has his last feed at 8 and goes down til 8 next morn. Like u i was trying to keep him awake in the evening but someone then told me to let him sleep after his 5o'clock feed and then he would be more settled and go straight to bed after his 8o'clock feed. So far this seems to be working. U are still doing weel to be getting 7-8 hours sllep at night at this stage, this is my 3rd baby and i never remember getting any sleep with the first 2!!! Add me as a friend if u want to chat...

Hi i have just recently changed my babys bedtime routine. He now has a bath at about 7pm, massage,a story, his milk and then bed. Then at about 10-1030pm i give him another bottle, and put him back to bed. But apart from the 1st night(3 days ago)he has been waking between 3-5am and will not settle back down.Am i asking too much from him, should i keep doing this routine in the hope that he will adjust. The old routine he had was that i would keep awake from his 4th bottle at 630pm then do the bath routine at about 9pm,bottle 10-1030pm, and he would be ok till about 630-7am.The only problem with this routine was that i was having no 'me' time which i found quite hard. Can anyone help? Nicky x
