Hi! Here we are again, in need of serious help!
We have been on EASY since my little boy was around 10 weeks old, had some issues like anyone but overall had a great routine. He started sleeping through the night at 3 months old (12hrs straight without a DF or any waking!!) we had pretty good nights until he turned 4 months... He is now 5 months and 1 week old and I think we have MANY issues to solve!!
Right I don't even know where to start! Lol
We are still on a 3 hours feeding, BUT most of the time he is not very interested to feed, but I have got the bad habit of thinking the more I feed during the day the less he will need at night!
Because he doesn't take full feed every 3 hours, we end up snacking cause I'm worried he is hungry...
We have been having 1.45-2h A time for a while now, problem is he gets moody after that but we end up having 45 mins nap all day long...!
He doesn't like dummys so goes down in his cot with his Fisher price fish tank on (music and very bright lights on) and falls asleep within 10-15 minutes(is it too stimulating?? ) Sometimes he will fuss and fuss and eventually cry so I end up nursing him to sleep!..(About once out of his 4 naps)
Bedtime is ok, between 6.30 and 7.30 depending of if he has had 3 or 4 45 minutes naps during the day...
He is a happy little baby, wakes up happy from his naps(but gets grumpy if I don't come and get him within 5 minutes!)
He is having lots and lots of smelly gas at the moment, but no problem with reflux or anything...
So a normal day for us would go like this:
Awake and feed between 6.30-7.30
Sleep around 8.45-9.30 in the car on the way to school
F-10.00
A
S-11.00-11.45
A
F-13.00
S-13.45-14.30
A
F-16.00
S-fight! So anytime between 16.30 and 17.30 or not at all
A
Bath and feed at 18.30 and bed
And then NW between 22.00 and 23.00 and 2 or 3 more until morning...I feed to put him back to sleep or he gets very angry and screams the place down!
So please if someone could help me to see where I am going wrong and where and how to start readjusting our EASY it would be very appreciated!
Thank you!
