Hi there - my DS is 14 weeks (born 1st Feb).
From the BW quiz, he is about 2/3 touchy, 1/3 textbook (he is going through a growing spurt at the moment....)
He is exclusively breastfed, very sucky but hasnt used a pacifier since he was 10 weeks as he has now found his thumb/fist.
He's a tummy sleeper.
He is on a 3 hour EASY, but my 'problem' is his nap times and the fact that he hurts himself beforehand
6:40am wakes up, nappy & clothes change
7am feed
plays
8:30am goes from happy to sad in a heartbeat, screams blue murder, banging his fists and arching his back as he lays against my chest whilst I whilst I hold him close and shush-pat until he calms down
8:40am falls asleep & I gently put him
9:30am wakes up, and wants to be cuddled or tries to have another meltdown
10am nappy change & feed
plays happily
12noon goes from happy to sad in a heartbeat, screams blue murder, banging his fists and arching his back as he lays against my chest whilst I hold him close and shush-pat until he calms down
12:10pm sleeps
1pm wakes up, nappy change and feed
often sleeps from 1:30pm until 4pm
4pm is woken up, nappy change and feed
5pm go for a walk outside in the pram
5:30pm meltdown for about an hour
6:30pm bath, change
7pm feed
sleeps solidly from 7:30pm until 1:30pm for dream feed
sleeps reasonably well (occasional days of 2-3am waking where I quietly feed him & put him back to sleep straight away) for the last three weeks until around 6:30am
at night he is a relative angel, but during the day I am upset that he has these regular frightening meltdowns!
how can I help him go to sleep without having the meltdown during the daytime?!
