Routine help -4 mo, short naps and erratic feeding

[ZacsMumme]

Yeah, if I'm reading right that he did a 2 hr nap with only 10 mins resettle in the Middle? For 4 mths it's a great nap

I'm noticing his nights are all over the place these days! No matter how good/bad the day went.. He's having a lot of early nw.. Every 45 mins or so, initially i settle without a feed, then around 9:30/45 I have to feed.. Then some night he goes back to sleep others it's fussy for a while again till he falls into deep sleep.

My second did this for ages. So frustrating! I think for some it's developmental. I know it's often OT but we were the same. No matter how well he slept otherwise, em had the ENW do you think he could have wind after the BT feed? - my second had terrible wind/gas and food intolerances which is why I'm asking about wind.

I'd go for a 2 hr first A. If you can get a good nap (seven with a resettle) then do another 2 hrs but if you end up its short naps you can pull the next naps forward. I found this a good routine to aim for on 'off' days full of short naps

Thanks Hun that link helps.. For some reason I can never extend that am nap. Probably because school runs mess up his sleepy window.

He had his vaccines yesterday...do I wonder how his day will go. Something interesting I noticed... He had a cn yesterday that ended still 4:30 but I could only do bt by 6:30 earliest due to dd swimming. He took a bit of time settling and crude but when he did, he slept really well! No enw, I did a df at 10:30 and he slept till 2 am..

Wonder how that happened..

I struggled with Z till ~6 mths. I had to W2S, HTTJ or apop so many naps if I wanted a chance at a decent one Could be the shots causing the better night...but could be that he needs more A time yk?

Yes, I guess I just have to ride it out.. I just realised he's nearly 4.5 mo so it may be the longer A time thing. But he's got his brothers cold now so it's hard to judge.. I'll have to wait till he's better and reassess cos his a times are very low now.. Thanks again Sara i will keep you posted
