« on: December 05, 2007, 11:12:29 am »
well things have really changed in our house, ds was on a 3hr easy having an hour of A time and then food sleep etc but he never seemed that happy!
this is how things are now
7am feed
7.15 till 10am awake happy and looking at toys on his playmat.
10am feed
10.15am sleep till 3pm( with a feed at 1pm)
4pm feed
awake then till 6.45pm very happy loves his bath and goes straight to sleep at night.
sleeps till 7am with a feed at 3am.
he seems a much happier baby now that im lketting him sleep for 5hrs straight! i did think that he wouldnt sleep at night because he was sleeping too much during the day, but its working and hes happy ;D

Strange how you say that things have changed for you.

Our DD's routine has changed completely too.  She has gone from sleeping 2-3 hour naps, to not even taking 45 minutes.  It is really stressing me out.  And I end up having one cranky baby.

our babys are the same age yes?
ds is 7 weeks old today was born on the 17th oct.
seems like they are both going through the change!
does your dd need more A time so that she then wants to sleep for an hour or two during the day?

DD was 6 weeks yesterday.

I really don't know.  I am thinking she may need less A time.  I am quite confused.  Going to see what tomorrow brings.

Paula - can you post your routine?

blondiecat- good for you on reading your LOs cues!  Sounds like a lot of sleep.  I always wondered what a routine would look like for an LO sleeping the high end of the scale!  especially as mine sleeps the low end!

Alissa,

Typically, our routine would be E, A of 1.25 hours, S up until the 3 hour mark, and then E again.  She was following it perfectly.

Now that we know the reason why she has fallen off the routine (with her being sick), as soon as she is feeling better we will work on routine again.  At the moment, I am letting her do exactly what she needs and using a lot of AP to comfort her.

The good news is, she is so young that you can easily undo most any AP that occurs now.  Take care of your LO.

The biggest thing you can do to help her is have her have a bit of A time after E.  Almost any thing else can be corrected at her early age!

Good luck!
