Hi,
My baby is now 3 months and from 15 days until now he has changed his routine of feeding and sleeping during the nights.
I was thinking of a growth spurt but as it lasts for so long I think it may be something diferent.
During the day we follow an easy plan of 3 hours, bf at 10, 13, 16, 19 and 21. Until these changes began he used to sleep until 3-4 in the morning, waking up for a bf and sleeping again with no problems (after 10 minutes) until 6-7 in the morning.
Suddenly he began to wake up more frecuently, each 2 hours sometimes, I've tryed to include a df at 23 but it doesn't work as he keeps on waking up 2 hours later after it, and every 2 hours until it's morning day.
Another thing that has changed at the same time is that when it was time to sleep at nigth it took him to much time to get asleep, and he's never done it by himself by now (I've also tryed to tie him with a sheet but 1:he doesn't like it and 2: now he has learnt to get untied so it doesn't work, I've ordered a "magical blanket" to see if this helps) but as soon as he got asleep he didn't woke up until the feed of 3-4 am and now, everyday since this change has happened he wakes up after 30-45 minutes and it takes me another 45 minutes to get him asleep again. (His day naps do not last more than 30-45 minutes unless I get him tied in which case sometimes he sleeps during 1,30 hours)
I don't know if it has any relation with all these changes the fact that they 've just begun just after a weekend with lots of people in our house (when normally we have quite little visits), last saturday 23 of july we baptized him and as my husband's family lives 600 kms away from here they came and spend 3 days with us (7 people), carrying him in the arms, with quite a lot of stimulation and new faces during the all day. The weekend the family stayed at home he slept fine, from 9 until 5 am but sudenly, on monday after they left our house all these changes began, I don't know if they have any relation.
Any ideas of why it is happening this to my lo??
