It could possibly be the heat and that he is thirsty. I don't normally get thirsty during the night but lately with this heat I drink quite a lot when I get up to Jack at about 1.30am! It culd just go away once we have a reprieve from the heat?!]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:48:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273816&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273816 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273693&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273693 Author: peanut butter

Also, when you start solids, it doesn't take long for their appetite to increase (Bella was on 2 solid meals after only a week!)]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:05:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273591&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273591 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273583&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273583 Author: .Mel

Yes I do; normally between feeds these days. He can drink anywhere from 50-100mls in one sitting. I think I'll do what you suggest Cuppatea, and bath him earlier and put him down at 7.30 feed at 10.30 and see what happens tonight.]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:52:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273583&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273583 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273561&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273561 Author: cuppatea

It can take a week or so for them to adjust when you change their routine, could also have been the heat maybe, do you offer water during the day?]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:04:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273561&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273561 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273557&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273557 Author: .Mel

Over the weekend we tried him on solids approx 5 teaspoons, once a day just to get him used to it. He took it ok. Have continued giving it to him once a day for now.

I've also tried the dreamfeed, around 10.30 but he woke at 2.30? So I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing wrong here?]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 10:58:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273557&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273557 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273543&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273543 Author: jack_&_charli

Is he on solids? He might be trying to tell you its nearly time!]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 10:43:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273540&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273540 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273537&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273537 Author: cuppatea

I would maybe try and dream feed him (or wake him up if need be) at about 10.30pm and instead of giving that bottle at 8pm push it back to 6.30pm and have him in bed by 7.30pm at the lastest. We did that for a while and it worked quite well. ]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 10:40:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273537&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273537 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273527&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273527 Author: .Mel

Cooper is a great day sleeper, he normally has at least two really good sleeps during the day, and he's really easy to put to bed etc.

At night he's given his last bottle between 8.00-8.30pm after he's had a bath and "daddy" time. For the past week and a bit he's been waking up at 1.30am and is really really thirsty and will quite easily drink a 150ml bottle, and fall straight back to sleep and will then wake anytime between 7am-8.30am.

A couple of books that I've read suggest that I should just leave him to resettle, but it's a little hard in our house as he sleeps in our room and we've got two other children, plus DH leaves for work around 7.30am and I don't think it's fair on him to have a screaming baby beside him.

He used to have a dummy but decided that he no longer needed it, and I wouldn't have a clue where they are? Not to keen on re-introducing it either.

I guess what I'm asking is how can I get my 9hr sleep baby back? I've tried giving him a 200ml bottle at bed time but he can't finish it and normally drinks only 100mls.

Any suggestions would be greatly accepted ]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 10:29:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13466&PID=273527&title=1-30am-wake-up-help#273527
