I am in the same boat, my LO is very spirited and a bit touchy too. She wants to go, go go. Trying so hard to crawl and always wants to be on her tummy. Even though she will fuss when she gets there...she always flips to her tummy. Anyway started the BW method on Friday. I AM Exhausted and have wanted to quit so many times. She was taking 20 min naps and waking every 3 hours at night. I had to do something. We have seen some improvement but not a lot. It is day four..and I am hopeful. Here is her "attempted schedule"
7am UP and Feed - she sometimes gets up at 6 where I try I put her back down - almost impossible.
7:30-8:45 Activity
8:45 quite time
9a Nap (has been taking one hour with some pats from me - cries for about 20 min)
11a FEED
11:30-12:45 Activity
12:45 Quite time
1pm NAP (this one is tough, she will wake every 20 min..and fights so much to go back down)
3pm FEED
3:30-5 Activity
5 pm cat nap (1/2 hour)
5:30-6:45 Activity
6:45 Bath (she doesn't calm as much as others with this so I feed her after bath)
7pm BED
10pm Dream Feed
2am she wakes but puts herself back to sleep
3am wakes, fusses, then wails crying, I go in once that starts. She can't be comforted...buries her head in the sheet, tosses head back and forth, kicks legs. I finally get her to calm down with both PU/PD and shusshing. Saying it will be ok. She may fall asleep for 5 min then jerks awake even though I am holding her limbs. She is very very strong. This goes on till about 4-4:30a. Then she goes down, Back up at 5a and 6a....we are both so tired. I know she is overtired. Anything I can change/any advice. I am doing this all week....hoping that it all comes together for her.
