Hey there ladies,
It looks that my sleep problems will never end..
I have an almost 6 months old ds & we've been really struggling with naps & adjusting our A times, however he really slept well through the night, so that sort of made life bearable. However, for the past week we've been having issues with the DF, which I think are resulting in NWs, during which he's sort of alert & can take up to 30 mins to put back to sleep, after feeding him of course.
As for the DF issue, he takes only one breast..!...won't take the other although he eats from it perfectly fine at all other times..
..I tried compressing a little, so that there's milk on my breast & he's smell it, but that didn't work..
We had past issues with AP, but I think we're getting over them & he's becoming pretty good @ self soothing to sleep.
To give u a good idea abt our days, here's our routine from yesterday:
up @ 09.10 AM
E : 09.30 AM
A : 09.45 AM
Solids @ 10.20 AM
S : 11.15 AM
A : 12.00 PM
E : 01.20 PM
S : 01.55 PM
A : 02.30 PM
Solids @ 03.20 PM
S : 04.20 PM
E : 06.15 PM
A : 06.30 PM
E : 09.15 PM
S : 09.30 PM
DF : 12.00 AM
up @ 04.40 AM took paci & slept again till abt 05.15 AM, E : 05.30 AM
S : 06.00 AM
Due to the night waking, he was asleep @ 09.00 AM, his usual awake time, so I let him sleep for one more sleep cycle & was up @ 09.40 AM. I also thought that the NWs could actually be due to A times being short, so today I decided to extend to 2.10, here's the result so far:
E : 10.10 AM
A : 10.25 AM
Solids @ 11.15 AM
A : 11.50 AM , but up @ 12.40 PM, so is this UT? & how come yesterday after 2.05 we had an OT nap?
A : 12.45 PM
E : 02.00 PM
tried to put him down to sleep @ 02.30 PM, but he babbled & eventually cried, so I did pat/sh @ he slept @ 02.50 PM, but up @ 03.20 PM, happy & playing
Solids @ 04.00 PM
S : 04.50 PM , but up @ 05.40 PM
Yesterday there was no room for CN, will try to get him have one today.
Can anyone make any sense of this?
