Nicola just to let you know that today was a vast improvement, although I have spent all day in our room with Henry, I had an hours break at one point but apart from that it's been all about the naps! I thought if we are ever going to get close to getting over this i'm going to have to be extreme.
He's actually looked more and more tired after each nap! and although it wasn't exactly the right amounts at the right times, it was alot better than it has been, and hopefully the next few days will require a little less hovering from me, I've studied every jolt lol! and will be setting my egg timer to let me know a couple of mins before each is due so I can hopefully catch them.
Most of his sleep was also in his cot with no fussing or much in the way of settling from me, just a few rubs on his tummy
He has also fed better, probably because of the lack of distractions.
I de-stimulated the room *now theres something I never thought i'd say* I removed anything he could see from his bed, dh thinks i'm nuts! and covered his cot sides with sheets (because oak rails are soooo exciting)
I think it helped because when he did need to nap on me due to a 45min wake up he had to have a sheet over his eyes, strange boy.
So i've decided that 2 August will forever be known as nap day in this house and every year Mummy will stay in her room all day and be waited on by Henry....might have to wait a few years but it will be worth it!!!
I'll probably be up all night now!
