Hi all-it's been awhile since I've been on these boards!
Monica is 2 weeks old and is doing really well overall but I'm feeling like I need to start with a bit of sleep training.
She is pretty much on a 3hr routine. Sometimes she falls asleep while eating (I am breastfeeding) other times not.
At night, she does great going right back to sleep (gracias a Dios!)
During the day she has a hard time getting to sleep sometimes. Today she went aobut 4 hours without napping and she got so overtired.
With two other kids it's going to be hard to work on sleep training during the day! But I really want her to be an independent sleeper!
Is it too early to start pat/shhh? I did try one day but I really couldn't do it long as my back hurt.
You'd think that with #3 I'd have it all figured out--ha!
I read Theo's mom's post on the first 3 months (i remember reading that w/Maria!) but I guess I'm not sure how to proceed at this point.
Should I start cluster feeding in the evening? I'd be thrilled if she stretched out to 4 hours at night!
ok, this is a bit scattered--thanks for any suggestions!
