7.5 month waking lots during night
« on: October 22, 2009, 21:06:06 pm »
hi all

please can you advise me on the following:

my baby boys schedule has gone out the window since we found out his brain had not fully formed & now have to attend special need sessions 3 times a week, as you can imagine this has really affected his routine. for the last few months his night wakings have increased, sometimes he wakes crying, sometimes laughing, sometimes talking, sometimes whining. These waking last anything from a few minutes to 3.5 hours. He tends to wake for the longest period around 3.30/4am till 6ish. My days vary but his bedtime & awake time remains the same regardless of how little he sleeps at night. Our days tend to go like this:

Mon
A 8AM
E 8AM Solid & Formula
A 8AM - 10AM
S 10AM - 12AM
SPECIAL NEED SESSION 12PM - 2PM
S 2PM - 2.30PM
E 2.30PM Solid & Formula
A 2.30PM - 5PM
S 5PM - 5.45PM
A 5.45PM
6.30PM bath, bottle, story, bed

Tue, Wed, Sat, Sun
A 8AM
E 8AM Solid & formula
A 8AM - 10AM
S 10AM - 12AM
Y
E 12PM Solid & formula
A 12PM - 3PM
S 3PM - 4.30/5PM
E 4.30PM Solid & Formula
A 4.30PM - 6.30PM
6.30PM bath, bottle, story, bed

Thu
A 8AM
E 8AM Solid & Formula
SPECIAL NEED SESSION 9.30AM - 2PM
E 12pm Formula
E 2PM Solids & formula
S 2.30PM - 4PM
E 4PM Solids & formula
A until bedtime
6.30PM bath, bottle, story, bed


Fri (he's usually really tired Fridays & struggles to stay awake)
A 8AM
E 8AM Solid & Formula
A 8AM - 10AM
S 10AM - 12AM
E 12PM Formula
SPECIAL NEED SESSION 12PM - 2PM
S 2PM - 2.30PM
E 2.30PM Solid & Formula
A 2.30PM - 5PM
S 5PM - 5.45PM
E Formula
A 5.45PM
6.30PM bath, bottle, story, bed

can anyone offer some advice, we cannot change the time or length of his sessions & he often has things on Tuesdays & Wednesdays too but not every week. Any help would be appreciated

Hi there, just wondering how does the special classes and his brain not being properly formed affect him? cuold this be affecting his sleep?

also is it possible on the days he has the classes at 12 that you get him to have that second nap at 3 - 4.30 instead of 2-2.30 just like the other days?, i think if you are able to maintain some sort of consistancy it would really help
