whew- its 8pm and i finally have a chance to sit down! - today was a bit overwhelming - we have LO's baptism tomorrow so our relatives are in town .. but this was our day (we have NEVER had a day so well!!) -despite the short naps, and naps not in the bassinet
.... thats where i really need the most help!
E 5am - back to sleep until 7am (as noted before, has NEVER done that either!)
A 7:00-7:30
E 7:30-7:40
S 7:40-8:10 tried to get DS down but he SCREAMED until he was way too worked up. removed him from our room for a break. tried again at 9am - slept 9am-10:15am
E 10:30-10:40
A 10:40-11:15
S 11:15-11:45 (in the stroller while we were out - he was then awake until next feed)
E 1:30 -1:40
A 1:40-2:15
S 2:15-3:00 (in the car - which is unusual for him, he HATES the car!)
E 4:30-4:40
A 4:40-5:15
S 5:20-6:00 (on me, we were visiting family - exactly what i'm trying to NOT have him do - sleep on me!!) - stayed awake until next feeding
E 7:30 -7:40
A -wind down before bed (jammies, baby massage, quiet music, nurse, swaddle, lay down in bassinet
S - not a peep!! layed him down and he was out in 2 minutes!!!!!!
so what do i do if LO wakes up after 30 minutes and its an hour or more before his next feeding -- do we just play and stay awake until then or do i try to get him back down shortly after that catnap?
also, this morning when i layed him down and he slept for that hour in his bassinet - i shh/pat him for 15 minutes-- i am wondering if needs it that long -- i think ive usually stopped after 10 minutes... maybe those extra minutes are just enough? hmmm...
what do you think?! -- we'll see how tomorrow goes...
Thanks for looking at my posts... i really appreciate it!
