Hi
i found the information on this board so helpfull so i decided to ask another question.
11 week old, usually goes down to sleep quit easily, at times with dummy at others without. usually it depends if he fights the cuddle before bed or not (if fight go with dummy, if not fight - without). I put him down and leave the room cause i found that that helped him fall asleep quicker than if i stay and become stimulus. However sometimes he will seem tired, give a yawn, and even become a bit fussy. i will do the ritual, put him down and leave and this is how it will go - he will start cooing to himself (very cute), then coughing twice (still cute), then a giggle (favourite part), then start a couple of cry outs seperated by silence. then more frequent but still not continuos, then 2-3 times out of 10 will fall asleep and 7 out of 10 will start crying. all of this description can be as long as 45 minutes before the cry. settling him would take anywhere between a couple of minutes to much 15 minutes - and might need to go in twice at times but he essentially would be fine at the end of it. obviously this cuts into nap time a lot and he is usually over tired becuase of this but patting or shushing him when i put him down just seems to stimulate him more. should i be going in earlier or is this just part of the learning process?
BTW - sorry for grammer and spelling, english not my first langauge.
will appreciate opinions.
