My LO is almost 5 months old and he has never slept for more than 30 mins.
When I see he's tired (rubs his eyes), usually 2 hrs after waking up, I breastfeed him (I konw I shouldn't but I had some lactation problems and I wasn't sure if he was getting enough milk, and also I want to be sure he's not crying because of being hungry, and also I want him to get enough milk during the day so that he doesn't wake up every 2 hrs at night, and the last but not least I don't want him to wake up after those 30 mins just because he's hungry again- he eats every 2 hrs). Anyway, I feed him, than I close the curtains, play white noise, put him in his cot, lie my hand in his chest, also holding his arms. With another hand I tickle his forehead, but just for a while, than I stop. He falls asleep snuggling his head in a bug pillow that I put next to him. Than I let him go.
He wakes after 30 mins, so I resettle him the same way. The next 30 mins is a constant waking up-resettling proces, and the last 30 mins he sleeps calmly. Does it even make sense? Will it get better? (I mean constant sleep)
I don;t know if he is overtires, because we're just begining...
Thank you so much for the support!
