I thought he needed a longer A time before bed because he takes 20-30 min to fall asleep if its not 2:15. Otherwise it's 5 min.
He was sick last night. Cold/cough. First one.
he was up ecery two hours starting at 11. My first was not sick until 18 months and sleep habits were well established so I never worried about rocking him to sleep or laying next to him in his room when sick. At this age how to you AP parent a sick baby without creating a bad habit? When he had his 4 month growth spurt he kept waking in the night even though he didn't need to feed so I gave him pacifier. It took only 3 days for him to become addicted looking for it every two hours so I know he picks up bad habits easily.
So today he woke at 7! I put him down at 9 and he slept till 10:45. It took him about 10 min to really fall asleep tho because of congestion. Then I put him down for his second nap at 1245. Only slept 48 min so I think this A time definitely should increase. He then had a catnap right before bed.
He gets expressed milk so I can see what he gets. It's about 32-34 ounces a day. I can also tell he doesn't need dreamfeed. He's only taking an ounce now and if I give him more he doesn't have a full feed at first feeding at 7.
So I will try first A time of 2 hrs putting him down 5 min before since he falls asleep fairly quickly. The second A I will try and push. Maybe 2:05 or 2:10 min?
Thanks so much!!!!
