I think he is a 45 minuter for A time. He started to get that glazed look around 845am. I swaddled him, he actually smiled as I did this, and I put him in his swing. He fell asleep about 9am. But he didn't fuss while in the swing, he just laid there. I sat near him a bit and stroked his head a tad, but sometimes I think I distract him. So I walked away, he it's now 940am and he is still asleep.
I think I have too high hopes for him and naps. I am gonna not worry about not using props etc right now and do some sleep training later. For now, I think it's more important for him to get sleep and not be OT.
I have just been focusing on making sure he is getting enough Es, keepings A's short, and working on getting in decent S's.
Im sorta confused by the pattern for a BF baby's EAS.. If the A window is 45 mins, do you E, then have a tad of A, the E again in less than an hour? Then not let them fall asleep at the breast and work on the S?
Since he hasn't been falling totally asleep until 930pm, and waking at 8 (sometimes sooner, like 630 and then is restless..although this morning he really didn't get restless until 730) to E..he gets 10.5 hours at night minus the night feed(s). I feel like if I can get him to take 4 1.5 hour naps plus a catnap at 6 before getting ready for bed around 745 or 8..his bottle at 830 or sooner depending..he would get about 17 hours of sleep. Then once I can transition his BT to 8 or 730..he may be ready for 3 hour spacings between feedings, be able to take longer naps and thus shortening the amount.
