Hi, thanks for the interest. My LO is 16 weeks old and over 14 lbs. His an easy going baby who doesn't like to sleep, but the lack of it is starting to show on him!! We are on a 3 hour EASY starting at 7 am. Eats take 30 min usually ( I have to cut him off!!) and we used to be up for an hour after that, but since he seems so exhausted and 30 min naps indicate overtired we are only doing 30 min A after the 30 min feed. Feels like he in constantly in his crib!! We do our last marathon feed at 7pm with bedtime at 8pm. There's usually a feed at 2 am and after that feed everything goes to pot.. he wakes up every two hours if we're lucky and we "paci -fy" him till 7am when the madness begins all over again.
Today I tried W2S holding through his 3 jolts, 5 minutes apart and he slept for 1.5 hrs. But I haven't tried it again so we'll try it tomorrow. 2 things: I can't seem to get the catnap down (takes too long, then he gets too crabby) so sometimes we move bedtime feed up. Secondly, I'm desperately afraid to try the dreamfeed. He is so hard to get to sleep (and burp) I can't imagine waking him up..expecially since 8 - 1am is his best stint!!
I'm ready for all you have to offer. We are making progress I think, just soooooo slowly. It seems like a cruel joke that babies need to be taught how to sleep!!
thanks, looking forward to any help you can provide!
