Improve the sleep of a 7/8mth old baby
Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2020 5:41 pm
Our almost 8mth old is generally a good sleeper but has recently been waking up several times at night crying and not going back to sleep unless she’s comforted. Her night routine is a bottle of milk at 8.15pm, sleeping from 9pm-6.30am, she then has milk and goes back to sleep until around 8.30-9am. She naps once or twice during the day for no more than 30mins at a time.
My questions are:
1) She doesn’t need milk, a nappy change or burping when she wakes in the night. What could be causing her to wake and what should we be doing to get her back to sleep again? Should we leave her to cry it out or comfort her back to sleep?
2) She has started to turn on her tummy while sleeping and sleeps like that. Is this a risk?
Thank you in advance!
