Hello! My son is 15 weeks old and we have been doing EASY since he was 5 weeks old. He has been on a two hour schedule since he was a newborn and it is starting to get to me. His bedtime is at 7:30 and he generally goes down no problem (we try our best to put him down awake). The first part of the night is his longest stretch (about 4 hours... It use to be 5 or 6 hours when he was swaddled but his orthopedic surgeon said no more swaddling). After about 4 hours I nurse him (he is breastfed) and put him back in his crib. Generally he goes back to sleep no problem but the rest of the night he gets up every 2 hours, sometimes even an hour later! When he wakes up I try to soothe him back to sleep or put in his pacifier but most of the time I have no luck so I take him out of his crib and rock him back to sleep. This only works sometimes. Sometimes he shows signs that he is hungry so I will nurse him but then he is up an hour later and the cycle continues. I usually get fed up and bring him to sleep with me so we can all get a little shut eye. I have tried extending his naps during the day (he only sleeps for 45mins) and I have also tries to extend his awake time (he is tired after an hour). I would appreciate any help/advice. Thank you in advance!
I am really hoping to get some advice.
