3 month old - are NW's ever from hunger if your LO wakes up 'gently'?

I thought OS would be more like OT

Was for us, babies are somewhat different in how they show cues for things. 

I'd dial back a bit, see where it gets you. 

And, from personal experience, it is really hard to avoid OS with second/third kids sometimes -- honestly, I found with James that he eventually just got used to it.  He's a pretty textbook baby, no?  Can't remember now.

Yes he is a text book chap so hopefully he will get used to any OS. Like you say - pretty hard to avoid!

Yep I'm definitely going to dial back a bit tomorrow just to see.  Do you think I should continue posting here and stop the Naps post and maybe ask Kara (and anyone else interested) to find me over here?

Which one do you want to keep open? We probably need to lock one so everything's just going in one spot.

These were what jumped out as rooting perhaps tired:

S 10.15 – 10.55 (Gosh I think he needs even more A!!!)
E 10.55   
A
E 13.05 Was about to put him down and he really started rooting which was unusual – maybe 4 month GS

S 12.35 – 14.45 But woke up calmly at 40 mins for about 10 minutes – We need even more A.  This is insane.  He’s needing as much as a 6 or 7 month old
E 14.45
E 17.05 Hungry/rooting
S 17.25 – 18.05

I realise now that they were in the second A time...

For us, OS always looked (at wakeup) like UT - ready and raring to go, just wanting to play. At the start of the nap, the fighting of sleep would be more similar to OT then UT, I guess.

Oh I see what rooting you meant now.

Re the OS, so you're saying if there was OS before a nap your LO would fight the nap like OT but would wake up looking UT - generally at the 40/45 minute mark?

I don't really mind what post we lock, but I think I should probably keep the Naps post open just because it's mainly naps that we're discussing.  Any chance you and Erin could follow me over there?

Thanks Bec.

Yep, exactly.

I'll lock this one and we'll come put in our 2 cents worth on the naps thread
