Title: Where I am going wrong
Post by: beth and sam's mummy on October 31, 2005, 15:41:59 pm
My d/s does not sleep as soon as I put him into bed he starts to move and this carrys on all night I have tried various things my d/h thinks d/s has too much food could someone check my schedule and see if I am going wrong:
7.00am 9oz bottle
Activity
8.30 cereal (4 tbl spoons)
Activity
9.00 till 11.00 sleep
11.30 1 tin baby food
Activity
1.45  9oz bottle
2.00 sleep till 4
4.00 Yogurt
5.30 dinner 1 tin baby food
7.00pm 9oz bottle and bed
He sleeps well during the day but at night we can be up 8/9 times an hour and this starts as soon as he gets into bed. He only has 3 bottles as he went off them and these are the only 3 I can persuade him with. Someone PLEASE help me!.

How old is your lo? Because if he is over 9mo then the feeding seems ok If he is under 9mo I would cut back on the solids & try to up the milk intake.

But I don't think the food is the issue.

How does he fall asleep? does he use a paci. Are you helping him by patting him off to sleep

Also it is nromal for babies esp as they get older to take even up to an hour to fall asleep. most don't hit the bed & fall asleep in 1min.

d/s is 7 months I uppped his solids as he didn't want his milk (he has tongue tie and finds it v difficult to drink from bottle). He doesnt have a paci he never wanted one as he cant keep it in. We have tried the patting etc but he uses it as a prop and as soon as you stop off he goes again.
