changing babies sleeping schedule
Bailey is now 7 weeks old and I have to go back to work in two weeks. Her sleeping schedule is from about 11 at night she finally falls asleep (she is normally awake from 5 or 6 until then) and she gets up about every 3-5 hours to eat but she only eats 1-2 oz just enough to put something in her stomach then she is back to sleep until about 10-11 then she gets up and eats like normal and stays awake. In two weeks I am going to have to start getting up at 530 to get ready for work. I was hoping to get her to start going to bed around 830-9 but I cant seem to get her to go to bed any earlier then 11. Anyone have any ideas?
naps
How long is her last nap of the day? Maybe shorten it? If she is up at 5 pm and goes to bed at 11, try waking her at 3 and see if she is tired at 9.
Other than that, I have no advice. Our kids have always gone to bed later than most kids their ages. It's always meant them sleeping longer and more rest for us. I'm not sure what we would do if we had to get up at 5:30. We can't seem to get Luke in bed before almost 8:45, even on school nights.
