I had a post like this similar about a month ago! Mr Jackson was up several times in the night (sometimes every hour!). I tried the family centre and she suggested 3x solid meals, and leaving him to cry if he woke in the night. (i did this once and it was horrible!) I gave up in the end and decided to ride it out....

One night I took him to bed with me, with a dummy, and rocked and rocked him every time he stirred and he slept through... For some reason this broke the pattern and hes now eating really well during the day (5x feeds + 2 solids) Im pretty sure he wasnt getting enough during the day as he was only on the breast for a couple of minutes.
Im only up once in the night now

I really hope it gets better for you... you have my sympathy!

I'm glad you said this as we've the same in our house as well Aoife wakes bright and chirpy before the birdies between 4 and 5 and Eimear about an hour later. We had 4 in the bed this morning as I was refusing to get up before 6:30


Jospehina, we started solids at 6 months and the girls were 5 weeks early. I don't think they were ready any earlier.
Now at 8 months Plunket seem to treat them just like any other 8 month old, regarding what they should be eating.

That solids guide I found useful as well.
