Nancy,

I can't remember for sure, but I am pretty sure none of my kids were sleeping straight through at 12 weeks. I know Brayden wasn't and I don't think Kaitlyn was quite yet--McKenna maybe. Anyway, if that makes you feel better. Boys STTN later and some even later than 12 weeks (the book says that). If he is hungry, for sure keep feeding him.

Martha, you could try a dreamfeed, but it might also just be that she needs more time. She is still young in baby time (though I remember that it can seem like FOREVER when you are in newborn time).

Kristine,

You will have to decide on the CIO. I can't do it at night because I know I just won't be able to last through it. I don't like to do CIO unless I am committed. But there are moms who have done it at night with success, so if you feel like that is what he needs and you can do it, then go for it.

I love your blog - so very helpful!! Just need someone to tell me that my 12 week old boy (14 lbs now, 9.2 at birth) is normal for waking up once at night (DF at 10:30 then wake up at 3:30am, then WT at 7am for the day). BW says 7-8 hours or longer by this time.... is it time to start weaning him from it, help him along in sleeping through the night?

Hi Val, my LO is 8 weeks old. This is her general feeding schedule:
6:45, 9:45, 12:45, 3:45, 6:15, 8:45, wake up sometime between 2 and 4. She takes a nap about an hour after those feeding times and sleeps for an hour to two hours.
I'd like to try and get her to sleep through the night. What can I do?

Hi:)
I have adding in the "dreamfeed" as I didn't until about two weeks ago (my little one is 11 weeks).
He is sometimes waking up at 2-3am for a feeding and other times going to about 5:30-6am. I'm not sure what makes a difference. He seems to eat the same on each dreamfeed but varies on making it to the 5:30-6 feeding.
Should I let him "CIO" if he

My lo is almost 7 mos old. Still BFing her on the bw schedule, 5 x per day. She is at 3 naps, but the first 2 naps are never longer than an hour, sometimes only 45 mins. I've tried to let her cry but she never goes back to sleep. She wakes happy too not crying. Really like for her to nap longer tho. Any suggestions?

Thank you!!

thank you thank you thank you!!!!! i just had my second baby and MAN time FLIES with #2. She's a month old already and I barely blinked. I REALLY needed this as I think it'd be easy to get in the grove of her just being a "newborn" forever. I'm supposed to start idpt next week and didn't even know it!!! printed this :)
