I do it now too to extend her daytime naps when she gets into the habit of waking up after 45 minutes (regular sleep pattern cycle for a baby)<BR/><BR/>It works. But you have to do it 3 or 4 days to break a waking habit.desajairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768167245116251266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26051722.post-29921109431340820552007-12-10T13:11:00.000-05:002007-12-10T13:11:00.000-05:00hey christy,i would try the method your friend rec...hey christy,<BR/>i would try the method your friend recommended. it sounds weird i know, and i've never heard of it before but from what i've learned in my neuroscience courses it would make perfect sense. if you wake him up a bit before, he's still tired so he'll fall back to sleep, then he'll enter deep sleep and won't wake up so early. then only thing is that im not so sure exactly how long before you should do it. i think an hour is a bit too long. i think it should be more like 30 min before so like 4:30 am... a sleep pattern is from 90 min to 120 min and the last 2 stages are deep sleep. Anyways just a thought. I'm sure this is just a phase anyways. xoxo take careJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179099039967587348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26051722.post-8364354283032658902007-12-09T22:01:00.000-05:002007-12-09T22:01:00.000-05:00I'm sure I've already asked you all of this, so pl...I'm sure I've already asked you all of this, so please forgive. I'm just trying to figure out if I can help at all!<BR/><BR/>(1) When Carson wakes up at 5am, is he hungry? Do you give him a bottle?<BR/>(2) What's he like after the bottle? I'm assuming that you still see signs of tiredness?<BR/>(3) Have you ever tried putting him back down after his bottle, to see what he does? A *bit* of CIO might work, I dunno?<BR/><BR/>If I notice that R is rubbing her eyes during her AM bottle, I sometimes bring her under the covers with me (rather than putting her back in the crib). Sometimes, it helps us both get an extra 1/2 hour of badly needed sleep! She seems to like the change in atmosphere. Now, that doesn't always work - but sometimes.:-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, you're right - there are SO many changes going on in his world right now, so that's part of the complication in figuring things out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
