Hoping to get some suggestions. I am not sure whether I should just keep feeding my ds in the night when he wakes or try pat ssssh or p/u p/d. He really seems to be hungry when I go in. It's so hard to know for sure though.
His second nap sometimes falls around 2:30, but other times it's around 3:30 because we need to go and pick up my other ds from school.
He gets himself to sleep with little to no crying and usually wakes happy and chatting (except for at night)
Thanks in advance for your help!
