Well, last night was rough again ... and yesterday was the "perfect" schedule as far as timing (though I still had to use the paci to extend the naps to 2 hours). The only change I can think of is that we went out to a quick dinner...
Anyway, he went down at 7:15 and awoke at 8:30, 10:15, 12:30, and 1. He also made a big screech at 5:40, but went back to sleep immediately.
I ended up nursing him the first two times; he went back to sleep on his own after 5 minutes of fussy-crying the last two times.
I guess the fact that he resettled himself those last times is good, but we're still waking up ... and I can't figure out why he is. The times aren't consistent from day to day, so he's not "stuck." He was REALLY upset at the 8:30 wakeup and didn't calm down till I put him tummy down on my knees--perhaps a tummy ache? His older brother is a bit sick, but not with tummy troubles.
Anyway, I'm awfully tired and a bit at a loss. And if it's a tummy ache, why is he fine when he's awake??
Could we be teething this early--4 months today? I don't see any tooth eruptions, but who knows...
?
