My ds is almost 4 months, on a 4 hr EASY and goes to bed around 7:30 - 8 pm with a df at 10:30 and starts his day around 7 am. He fusses; stirs, moans and makes sounds every night around 3:30 or 4 and again around 6 in his crib. He is able to put himself back to sleep after 5-10 min. My question is, is this waking up or is he still asleep? Should I do wake to sleep so that he goes straight through?
He also sometimes wakes up crying around 10 pm, can often get him back to sleep with a pick up and paci, but sometimes I df then. Could it be hunger or is he expecting the df? Do I move the df to 10 pm?
Another issue is that sice he is in his own room and its dark, if he's awakes at 6 or 6:15....(which he has twice) I don't know because he won't make a peep and its too dark too see, until 7:30 when I go into his room to find him awake. We have a monitor, but we don't hear him making sounds for us to come and get him?! I tried checking this morning at 6 am when I heard him stirr to see if he was awake - couldn't see much; he moved a little and turned his head but was so quiet that I though he was still asleep.... when I went in at 7 he was wide eyed and smiling! What do I do? Do I wait for him to fuss? I'm afraid that he's awake for and hour before I realize and can start his day.
I hope this is not confusing.... Any help or suggestions on any of theses issues will be greatly appreciated! :oops:
