Hey, girls, thakns for all the help and guidence u providing. My 10 mo DS has never slept through the night, he was always pretty easy to put to sleep but during the night it was always baaad.
Before he fell asleep with the bottle on my hands but now for 4 night already i do PD and he fells asleep in the crib - but he suffers from separation anxiety so i cant leave the room yet, he falls adleep with me singing to him or holding my hand on his head or back.
He sleeps for 2-3 hrs as usual and then the fun begins, he wakes up every hour, even if i put him back to sleep he wakes up again and again. He is teething now but even if i give him meds he still wakes up the same way. And now he also wakes up 1-1,5 hrs earlier in the morning. Before i used to feed him, then i gave him only one oz formula and 5 oz water and now we switched to just water and i try to feed him at 6-7, sometimes if im dying to sleep at 4-5.
Our usual routine is:
6-7 formula 6-7 oz
8-830 wake up
930 breakfast 6 -7 oz all toghether
11-12 (12.30) bottle 2-3 oz and nap
13.30 lunch 6-7 oz
1530-16.30 bottle 2-3 oz and nap
1930-20bath, change into pjs
20-2030 start PD
21-2130 asleep
Thrn he wakes up at 23 -00 and eats 6 0z formula, then sleeps for 30-60 mins and then starts to wake up constantly. He is still with pacifier only for the sleep. So when he wakes up i can give him paci or water which helps sometimes. When im too exhausted i feed him (after 4 am), sometimes move to my bed...he sleeps next to my bed in his crib.
Soooo any ideas how to fix this nigtmare?
Also general question - when i do PD and my baby stands up but he is not crying do i put him down or eait for him to cry? And if he lays down and cryies with no attempts to stand up what do i do? What is the best way to give paci doing PD as he wont do it himself?
