Just put him down for a nap and he was crying. OT already probably. 2h 50, but not really sleeping yet... or i'm not sure coz if i go in to check, will probably wake him ...
He was very tired this morning and that's why DH put him down 2h. DS' a bit grumpy/restless... He used to give us a little cry when he's tired. Like it's enough, I can't handle anymore. I didn't have to look at the clock. These days i'm just totally confused. Teething is possible but he didn't cry or scream. If he couldn't fall back to sleep, I would have given him some homeopathic drops. But I laid hand on his back, and he quieted down. That was last night about midnight.
Sleep and nap are always a problem. Dummy became a prop, and it got so bad that he kept waking every transition almost. So I weaned him off around 7mo. Then he had good naps for a short time. Then he got off DF, just sometimes wouldn't take the bottle at all, perhaps waking him at 11pm interrupted his sleep, stopped DF and probably started waking early for hunger. So I thought needed to get more solids in him and increase milk intake during the day. Naps were still decent back then.
Then teething pain in the middle of night screaming. After teething pain, 5am waking, so we did W2S and got one day 6, one day 7 wake up. Then back to 5:30, 4:30 wakings. I thought it was hunger. If he woke before 5, just gave him a bottle, he would finish 200ml easily and put him back to bed straight away. But if he wakes 5 or after, just get him up for the day. All those happened within 3 weeks. It was a nightmare. I got insomnia since then.
One more week later, he started skipping his afternoon catnap sometimes. Probably it's the transition to drop the catnap but some days he had it, some days not. I just can't see a consistent pattern. His solid intake increases nicely, a week after that. I was just focussing on feedings and teething, didn't think about A time, etc. I was posting in Sleep and Natalie suggested me post here.
Last 2 days, we seemed to have got some progress, then he pooped in the middle of his naps. I'm at my wit's end. Can't really think.
He just woke up. 2nd S also 30 mins
