Reply To: Happily Playing in Cot at 2am

Hi Emma,

I was reading this post as I am having some sudden night time wakings where baby is super awake and won’t go back to sleep after feed and Ive resorted to putting him on play mat O_O probably a mistake. He wakes up and is hungry because he takes 5-6 oz when I feed him, but now he also stays awake after that cooing and making noises until he finally escalates and gets upset.

First step for me is trying to adjust daytime intake so he can go back to sleeping through the night but otherwise what do you do in this case? Not a consistent wake up time, was 3am yesterday, 1 am today.

He is also learning to roll… He is 4m3w ish old.
