Hi
Thanks for replying.
I've not been doing EASY strictly but think maybe I need to from now on!
He doesn't wake at the same time 2 days running and he's teething at the moment too which is altering things but he usually wakes between 6 and 6.30.
DH fetched him from his crib and I BF him in bed with us. Then DH gets up and gets ready for work and we lay in bed having a cuddle and chat! Sometimes he nods off again and that is whay I've always begun the routine of the day from 9 when he was his breakfast.
We haven't been having a wind down as such. I just take him up to his room when he's showing tired signs and give him a cuddle in the nursing chair. Then I put him in his cot before he starts to drop off so the cuddle lasts longer sometimes than others. If his eyes start to get heavy, I put him down. Bed time is sorted, bath, story, feed and bed. No problems.
A time is walking in pushchair, playing in the garden, baby gym, singing with mummy, going to the shops or grandmas.
Today has been a nightmare cos I didn't let him drift off after his first BF of the day in bed! He is soooo overtired and keeps having 20 minutes here and there and no quality sleep. I wish I'd just let him snooze with me this morning as usual!!
I am aiming for 2-2.5 hours after E for sleeping but he just lies there playing with his hands or looking around his room.
Ahhhhhrrrrrr! I know that if we can get this sorted he'll be much happier in the daytime!
Thanks again for your advise!
