when did you get your child on a sleeping schedule? ,ine is 13 weeks old and when he wants to sleep, there is no waking him. for example, he slep from 11-2. took and bottle and went right back to sleep. he looks comfortable and I don't want to bother him. He still wakes for a 2 AM bottle....is this normal? is it too early to let him CIO? he takes anywhere from 4-6 ozs then so I feel like he is hungry and don't want to deny him the food if he is hungry. WDYT?

    • I think you need to trust your instincts. 13 weeks old is a bit of a gray area (some will say it is too young for scheduling, others say it is fine). Sorry, not too helpful.

    • I don't see the problem. 11-2 then a feeding and sweetly back to sleep sounds like bliss to me, especially if he goes down well at 11.

    • Too early for CIO. AT this age babies should be able to sleep through the night without a feeding but ask your pediatrician first to make sure. If they give you the go ahead make every night bottle a little less. First 6 ounces, then 4 ounces, then 2 ounces. After that go in and hold/comfort him but don't offer a bottle and see if he will sleep without it. It may not work but then again it might, it's worth a try.

    • Never Wake a Sleeping Baby. It was my motto and dc is a champion sleeper.
