Is it me or do we all seem to be having problems with our lo's sleeping?
Riley isn't doing too bad, we have given her some cereal the past couple of days, my milk just didn't seem to be enough to last her the 4hrs we normally have between feeds. Man does she have an appitite.
She has discovered that she can roll on her belly in the crib, so that is making pd time a little harder, we get her settled good enough, but then she wakes up as she rolls in her sleep. We left her tonight instead of keep going in and doing it for her, she just grunted and groaned a couple of times and then was out like a light.
We are having MAJOR sleep issues with ds though, I thought I would put it on the sleep boards but I am putting it here first as i know a few of you have lo's around Jayson's age.
He has a hard time falling asleep by himself. We didn't know about bw when we had him, so we put him to sleep ourselves, and due to various circumstances, dh found it easier to sleep with ds to put him to sleep. We have been trying since christmas with this.
We would try sitting at the end of his bed, but with two kids, dh normally falls asleep with him, I could try it now, but dh is not sure on me staying with him. but as i explain to him, if we can teach dd to fall asleep on her own, then we can teach ds.
I don't want to try music, as I explained to dh it will become a prop and then we are back at sq.1. we have tried reading, letting him look at his books on his own.
What we need is a plan, a routine, but dh feels tied down when we try it.
Does anyone have any suggestions, we need to balance with the two of us now, but I am hoping to get a new job and go back to work in the new year. So it needs to be something we can eventually do on our own individually.
I will pop off for now, I don't want to make this too long.
