So Amelia has started to get really grumpy from 6.30/7pm - often falling asleep and needing to be woken for her bath and 8pm feed.........
so have decided that she may be ready for a 7pmish bedtime - have bought her whole routine forward a good hour!
Also decided to introduce a 'dream feed' arund 10.30pm before i go to bed as she has her long sleep time from 8 till3/4am at the mo - really hoping the dream feed will result in the long sleep period being from 10.30 till 6am ish.....better sleep for mummy and daddy!
Those of you that have introduced the dream feed - did it work? If it did, did LO sleep longer straight way or did it take a little while to establish?
Anyway wish me luck - am so worried that i am going to completlly mess up and that she will stay awake after 10.30pm dreamfeed and i'll end up wishing i hadn't changed the routine
Do you think i'm doing the right thing...aagghh i hope so....
