Bumping:
Well, we are still having the same battles. He did have a good night sleep on Sunday night and he had a great day on Monday (actually hardly fussed at all and was all smiles), but Monday night sucked! For the last couple days/nights and before Monday he's been horrible with sleep (as usual). Actually yesterday he was impossibly grumpy all day...
I don't know how to keep to our easy routine when his naps are so short. It totally throws the routine off and makes for such bad nights. Last night he was up from 12:30-3:30 straight and was such a fussy babe. He just would not go back to sleep -- he got so worked up that he became hungry again (even after doing the dream feed). So I fed him at 3:20 (4 oz) and he fell fast a sleep 10 minutes later. What gives? I've been working on cutting those 3 am feedings he he's been okay with it.... I can't imagine him going throw another growth spurt (he just had one when he turn 6 months on the 12th)... seriously he's already a hugggge baby and the 90th %tile.
Oh I do have to mention I've had success with getting more calories in him during the day. He can eat anywhere from 5-8 oz now during a feed. But, that's the only success I've really had with the bw system/routine.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Other than the few of us with grumpy babes can someone help?! I actually hit a wall of tiredness on Sunday and felt like I couldn't go on... I'm just soooo tired.
Please help...
