« on: February 08, 2011, 03:23:03 am »
please help. My nrly 6wk old is in a loose EASY (as he fits in w/ my nrly 2y old. He usually feeds 3-3.5 hrs and does a 4hr or sometimes 5hr stretch at night. He is generally v. content and sleeps well except for btwn 9-11 when he cries and sleeps off and on. Here was yesterday in Easy.
E 6.45
A 1.15hr
S 8 (1.45)
E 9.45 ( i woke him for a feed so we could get out)
A 1hr (approx)
S 10.45 (2hrs in carseat out).
E 12.50
A 1.10
S 2 (2hrs started in car then moved to cot)
E 4pm
A 1.15
S 5.15 (1.45)
E 7pm (i woke him)
A 1hr inc bath etc
S 8pm
9pm-11pm fussy. Fed at 9 seemed to take a gd feed but not settle fed again at 11 but just a comfort feed 5mins.
E 2.40
S

Not sure what rest of nite will b but we usually have 1 or to nightfeeds 1 btwn 1 and 3 and nxt feed btwn 5 and 7 we usually start day btwn 6.30 and 7 when my 2yr old gets up. Things are generally gd but any advice 2improve our evenings would be great. He doesnt usually cry at other times so i knw smthing is wrong. Also me and DH have no time together after toddler bed at 8.30. Thanks!

Hi there-
Sorry it is not going so great.  This is not uncommon for a LO at this age.  Crying/fussing always seems to peak right between 6-8wo.  At this point, it is still hard to make a routine adjustment to improve things.

I would take a peak here http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=4859.0  and see if any of this might help.

Having said that, your A times seem a little long.  We try to keep them in the .45-1hr range so he may be getting a little OT/OS.

I know it is soo hard in the beginning when you have no time to yourself.  It will come but you are still really early on.

Your NW are reasonable so I think you are on the right track.

HTH

thanks sarah, will try shorter a times and see how we do. Have had another pm of crying btwn 7-10, then up at 11 and 2.30 (so far). Have worried he's not getting enough stimulation but praps the attention of a curious toddler is still too much! Thanks
