Hi all
I'm new to this forum. We moved ds to his crib a few weeks ago, as well as implemented an earlier bedtime and attempted to get him on an EASY schedule. He will frequently wake 30 min or so after putting him down (sometimes with a burp, or sometimes possibly OT?).
We don't have a firm EASY schedule down yet, but here's what I do have roughly: It's generally 3-3.5hr
7-7:15 wake
7:30- E
A
9am -S
Y
11am - E
A
12:30 - S
Y
Afternoons get a bit rocky:
Sometimes he wakes 2-3, so I feed with a short activity and put him back down.
S 330-5/5:30 at which point he gets his one bottles of bm/day - he takes 4-6oz
Other times he's awake at 4-430, so I try to have him take a short nap around 530-6
Bedtime routine starts at 630-7 (depending if he takes the short nap or not).
Bedtime routine is bath, quick dance, top off with breast then begin - pu/pd. That usually lasts 30 min or so (the pu/pd). However, last night he would sleep anywhere from 5-30 min before waking.
His nighttime wakes range from 3-4x, usually only hungry once.
General nighttime wakings are
12:30, 3:30, 4-430 and 530-6.
In the last week, he's been waking up the instant we lay him back down after a feed, and taking possibly 30 minutes to settle again. Previously he was asleep the instant we lay him down.
I will say I generally get him during his mantra cry hoping to avoid him fully waking up. He generally requires the breast to settle with me, though dh can rock him fully to sleep (which I'm also trying to avoid). We used to walk/jostle him bc we let him get overtired. The last few days I've been able to rock him some with some fussing but he settles.
No props - he hates the paci and always hated swaddling. He's exclusively breast fed.
I'd love to hear your feedback!
