I used the baby sleep system 2 years ago with great success and now have a very happy, well slept little boy. My baby daughter is now 4 months old and we seem to have fallen into a few bad habits. I would like some support from the forum to help encourage her to be as good a sleeper as her big brother

Night awakenings getting more frequent


Hi there,

I am back! I used the system 2 years ago with my son, who is now an excellent sleeper. My daughter is now 4 months old and although I thought we were doing ok, we seem to have slipped into a few bad habits and I am starting to struggle with the lack of sleep.

She is exclusively breast fed and doesn't manage to go more than 3 hours between feeds during the day.

Our routine:

Milly wakes up between 6-8am - feed, change, dress

About 1 1/2 hours later needs a nap - usually in cot. Use PUPD - takes between 5 -15 mins. Sometimes I have to leave her crying for 2 mins, to give myself some space and then when I go back to pick her up she settles much quicker
She goes onto the mattress almost asleep (squirms a little and few noises)

Only sleeps 30-45 mins, but wakes up happy

BF about 10am

Usually around 10.30am she seems tired again, often we are out with buggy, or car seat, but today I have put her back into cot with PUPD. She used to sleep 2 hours at this nap, but recently this has become another short nap (45 mins)

BF around lunchtime

Nap in the afternoon - My little boy is often napping in his bed at this time, so I put Milly in the buggy in the hall and rock her a bit to sleep. once or twice a week she sleeps for 3 hours at this time, but the other days she has a short nap and then is a bit grumpy in the afternoon. If Luke is at nursery I would take Milly out in the buggy.

BF throughout early evening (on demand/cluster). Milly usually has a cat-nap around 5.40pm in her buggy again in the hall

Bedtime: Feed about 7pm. Bath with Luke at 7.30pm.
Into our bedroom (where she sleeps in her cot) - into pj's and sleeping bag. She is always crying a lot at this point (?tired/hunger) so I feed her again. She definitely starts to comfort feed at this point and I eventually take her off the breast and then burp her. She is drowsy when I put her in her cot. If she cries we do PUPD.
