Hi All
Advice greatly needed please!! I have been working on implementing 3 hour EASY for my 6 week old DS but Ive got two other children that I am trying to fit this around with school runs etc. A typical (good) day looks like this, but the 45 minute nap thing is such a nightmare, is this developmental?
E - 7.00am
A
S - 8.30 (he will fall asleep in pram on school run and stay asleep till next feed)
E - 10.00am
A
S - 11.00 (takes me 45 mins or so to settle him swaddled and he will only sleep for about 30/40 mins tops and wakes up hysterical and cries until next feed)
E - 1.00pm
A
S - 2.15 (i put him in the pram and we go for a walk until school pick up and he will stay asleep until next feed)
E - 4.00pm
A
S - 5.00pm ish (30/40 min cat nap in sling)
Bath - 6.15
E - 6.30
S - 7.00pm (he goes to sleep now without too much fuss, swaddled, and wakes around 1am and 4am - although he does thin his day starts at 5am but I only give him a small feed and wont get him up till 0630 at the earliest to try and keep the routine)
I feel I cant get any major consistency of him sleeping in his cot because of the school runs, when I do put him n his cot he screams and fits his swaddling and gets so upset. I persever and he does eventually go off but I cannot get him back to sleep when he wakes.
Any advice or pointers would be brilliant...
Thank you
Liz xxxx
