Audrey has been waking once a night to nurse for a long time and I thought it was probably time to drop it. She seems happy and healthy so I don't think that missing one feeding will cause a problem. We started on Friday night. The first two nights she slept from about 10 until 5:00 and I let her cry until 6:00. I really don't want her getting up before that time. It's torture hearing her cry. I just need a little support and I was wondering if some of your could post what your daily routine looked like for your 5 month old. Thanks!

Amy (very sleepy mama)

Is there a feeding at 10pm? I'd say she's probably just used to waking and needs to get past it. Is she on solids yet? How about you post her routine just so we can take a look. I'd say that more than likely she just needs to learn to not wake and night and being that its gone on this long - it may take awhile but hang in there :)

Hi there! I have a 5 month old too and this is our routine. Maybe it will give you some ideas. We are on a 3 hour schedule at this point but will be moving to a 4 hour schedule pretty soon as I'm having to wake him up from naps to eat.

8am - wake up, nurse, eat rice cereal and fruit
9am - down for a nap

11am - wake up, nurse, eat fruit and vegies
12pm - down for a nap

2pm - wake up, nurse
3pm - down for a nap

5pm - wake up, nurse, eat rice cereal and veggies
6pm - down for a nap

8pm - wake up, nurse
9pm - down for a nap

11pm - wake up, nurse go straight back to bed until 8am.

I do made my schedule end this late because I wanted my baby to sleep until 8 when my other two munchkins wake up. Good luck!
