Hi Marien,

Before I can give you the best possible advice, I just have a few quick questions to help me understand what’s going on a little more clearly:

1. Is your little one formula-fed, mixed-fed (both breast and formula), or is she drinking expressed breast milk from a bottle?

2. You previously mentioned she was sleeping well overnight, but it sounds like that may have changed recently. You said bedtime is around 8pm and she was sleeping 4–5 hours before waking for a feed—so around 12am/1am. Is that still happening?

3. How many feeds is she currently having overnight—between 8pm and 7am?

4. Do you happen to know the times she generally wakes during the night?

5. How is her weight tracking? Is she gaining weight steadily and following her growth curve?

6. During the day, would you say she’s generally content when awake, or is she quite fussy or unsettled?

7. Lastly, how have things been going with the changes to her nap and bedtime routine—especially with helping her fall asleep in the crib or without needing to be rocked or moved?

Sorry for the question again.
