:nah: you mean your gal can sleep from 1-2am till 12-1 pm without waking up for milk?? Mine need 2 feedings at night about 4-5 hours interval and 3 hours interval during day time. Still trying to let her through the nite...

Have you try to swaddle her at night? i think baby can sleep longer when they are swaddled. If not, try not to let her sleep too much during the daytime.

I think your bb kaelyn got her time all mix up already...you should routine her back to normal sleeping hour like 8pm to 7am the next day and in the afternoon about 1pm to 3pm is nap time and so forth

She could be thinking that 1 -2am is daytime to her that's why she wakes up at 5am, thinking that it is nap time

If you don't let her sleep regular hours now, next time when she goes school it would be difficult to train her....:tlaugh:

yeah i agree, her body clock alr changed!
u shld slowly adjust back her slping time to regular hrs instead. or u will really hv a hard time next time.
maybe starting from tonight, push back the hrs abit. like now she slp at 1-2am, try to make her slp arnd 11pm-12am today n wake her up at 10 am tomorrow morning. then let her nap earlier, arnd 3-4 pm.
then everyday u push her slping time earlier 1-2 hr til she is slping at arnd 9 pm latest.
so if slp at 9 pm then wake arnd 8-9am, then nap 1-2 pm (depending how many hrs she slping)..

I think you hv to keep on trying and trying till she gets the message that it is bedtime....set up a routine before bedtime, like reading a storybook before bed? or on soothing music?

yes jassmine, u need to enforce into her mind tt slp time means slp time.
even she wake up also force her to go back to slp.
u can choose to pat her back to slp, or ignore her, dun on the lights, dun entertain her.

johanan can be very active before the lights are off, refuse to lie down to sleep, but when the lights are off, he got nothing to see and to play, so kwai kwai lie down
