Wink,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping this might be a developmental stage. As far as comforting to sleep, my daughter 4 1/2 months can put herself to sleep for each nap with little or no fussing. At night we have now moved her bedtime to 8:30(trying to move it earlier as suggested by some sleep theories)and she is put down wide awake. THings are going well here. SHe might talk to herself for awhile or fuss for a FEW minutes but then goes to sleep. So I feel she knows how to put herself to sleep. We do go in and pat her if it is not near a time she might be hungry (during the night) and if this works it is immediate, 30 sec. of patting and she's off to dreamland, so I guess in that case we are helping her to settle back in. THis morning I heard her at 6:00 and waited a couple of minutes not wanting to get up just yet and she went back to sleep and I got her up at 7:30. One question for you, how long should I let her sleep int he mornings. Many days she gets me up between 6 and 7, but if not I have been starting our day by 7. Is this a good idea or should I let her sleep. Im scared she will become a late morning sleeper and not want to go to bed at night. ANy ideas on this one? Thanks again for your reply. Hope to hear from you.
