Hey there everone! Happy mothers day. I am catherine and im new on the web site. I am 19 years old, and i have a thirteen month old little boy named, Charlie. Charlie was 6 weeks early at birth. He has something wrong with his little heart that the doctors are doing test on. I have had to work lately and he has been staying home with daddy and grandma. Ever sence i started working his dad has been giving him his bottle in bed and letting him fall asleep, i dont blaim him of course it is quick and easy. Know i am learning how bad it could be for him to be doing this. Tooth decay, not learning independence to fall asleep on his own. I know i want that to change, and i have some idea how to start that. but could always take more advice on it. He is a very senitive little guy. while i had 3 days off i put him on a schdule and it worked until i wasnt home any longer. the schdule was this.
7-8 wake up bottle breakfast
play time until 11:30
11:30 lunch bottle and bed
12 he would be sleeping until 2
4 snack
play time til 5:30
dinner
walk to the park play at the park bath time and bed at 8:00
I dont know if that was right cause he did seem alittle over tired from just having one nap but when we let him have 2 naps he would stay up until 11 at night. He is teething right now, and ive been giving him motrin. Ive noticed that he has had yellow soft poos like twice a day. is that normal? anyways i may be alittle over paranoid. i worked to day and his schdule was not there at all and he was super tired by 7 so we put him down and he woke back up at 8 and didnt fall asleep again til 10. he was really fussy and irritable. so i said okay i see some signs that make me feel that he may not feel good and i should just call the advice nurce and see what she says but i got a negative responce after saying that from my boyfriend and his mother.
what do yall think? i apprecaite any advice.
