We decided to cut him a break before sleep training as we are pretty sure he was reacting to the food challenge I just did. So the good news is that these issues we are having are exacerbated by the food reaction. Its 48 hours since i stopped eating the troublesome foods and he is alot happier by day now.
We had one good night 2 wakings with straight back to sleep with a good day twice he went down without the boob!
That day went like this:
wake 8am (bedtime night before went bust and he wouldn't go down till 9pm!)
Sleep 12pm
(feed before sleep at 11am - but not tired enough was playing in cot so got him up 30 mins later let him play a bit, put him back down without boob and traight to sleep!)
Wake 1:30pm
Sleep 4:15pm (this was a sling nap as it was so late we had to get him down quick)
Wake 5pm
Sleep 8pm
Last night he went down well at 8pm (straight after bedtime feed) woke at 1am then 4:20am I fed both times. Unfortuntaley after the 4am he played and played, then DH went in after he started crying a fair bit and rocked him back to lseep with lots of crying by about 6:00am
Poor DH and I have no idea what this NW was all about. Probably the prop things again?
?
Not it is 8am and Kai is STILL not hungry for his first feed of the morning.
Hopefully today his schedule will fall back on track , we was up at 7am.
If he is better today (again) then we will look at fixing the day naps, and then next Friday night doing the night settling. DH doesn't want to do it through the week - fair enough.
I will need to ask advice on how to do the night settling too..... I fear that it will be hard core compared to the day.
