hello,
I have a three month old DS (who will be four in ten days), we have been although not rigidly- implementing the EASY rountine, I have first had to get him used to sleeping in the cot, then without my swaying, now Im trying to wean him off his two hourly habitual feedings at night. we wake 7-sleep at 7, his naps are an hour long exactly (couldnt make them longer) and now after DF at 11, I do PUPD (shh-patt doesn't work with him) till 3 then try to keep him sleeping till 7. It is working I think, only he seems to wake at 6 am and its hard to get him back to sleep without feeding after that:/
another is it seems to me that he BF's are quite short.. He seems to get full after 10- the most 15 minutes each time.. So trying to wean him off night wakings I am afraid that he might be too hungry and I am forcing him to go back to sleep hungry..
and the most pressing question I have is;
I'm hesitant to go out with the baby at night, get him to sleep for a few hours at our friends while were there etc. especially after all that work in weaning him from all the above props and habits..
How much does it effect the sleep routine in general. I know they say some babies are ok with it, and for some are really grumpy for a while later, and you have to work to get them back on schedule, but am I being too hesitant, it is getting a bit boring at home, and our social life revolved around the night mostly. same goes for staying overnignt at my in laws or holidays, Im not sure what to do, how much I should try my best to stay at home. I am wondering what others experiences are..
thank you!
