[<Catherine>]

Aw hun

Did you medicate last night?

[babyrose]

i did bf b/time, im not sure if he just didnt have enough A time and he couldnt get into a deep sleep. i cant seem to get his A time right i still feel he is OT. i was looking through his old notes from july and it looks as if its being going on for awhile now. sorry for moaning, i guess there is alot of people in the same boat.

Moan away lovely, it's so hard at times. BTDT so can completely sympathise!

Are you able to post his routine for the last few days here now so we can look at it all together and see if we can see a pattern? If you can post Awake time, naptime, bedtime and NWs.

Hugs xxx

thanks,

yesterday our routine went:

7:15 awake
7:45 b/fast and milk
9:30 snack
11:45 lunch
12:45 sleep (i was late getting him to sleep for the 5hrs 20, so it was 5hrs 30. 1hr45 sleep time.
15:00 snack
17:00 dinner
18:30 b/feed and bed

45 mins wakes up after b/time ( im guessing UT  with such a short A time?)

NW'S i know it was bf 2:30 as DH gets in a round 2:45
EW 5:30

most nights he does wake between 11 and 1.

some night i can settle him within mins other times i just cant deal with sleep training and bring him in beside me i know im not doing my self any favours though

i keep thinking thats why he is wakening cos he wants in beside us.

with the early WU this morning A had his nap from 10:55 til 1:40, should i aim for 7:10pm b/time?

[<Catherine>]

Ooohh, great nap That's good news at least. Yes, I think that sounds like a sensible BT. Kepp an eye for cues though in case he needs it a bit earlier with that EW.

[babyrose]

 hopefully it will help him tonight, FX. A has been yawning since 4! so i think maybe wee bit earlier i think. does his routine sound ok, there has been alot going on since july but we have been doing GW and he is finally falling asleep by himself. yipeeee!!!!

[babyrose]

got A in his cot at 7 he didnt fall asleep till 7:40! do you think too much sleep or too long a day? A slept til 7:40 this morning.

he was up at 22:55 i gave meds and tried to get himback down, no luck. during the night he kept waking and sitting up, i dont know why he was doing that. he does it quite alot.

[<Catherine>]

do you think too much sleep or too long a day?

I would suggest it's OT after a long day, but I'm not sure how confident I am with that to be completely honest  He's throwing me a bit, which is why I'm wondering if there's something else going on, like teeth.

Although, he slept til 7.40am? With one NW at 22.55? Am I right in thinking that's actually quite a good night for him? Definitely a good wake up time.

[babyrose]

i think he is still teething, i think his canines are on the way aswell as two front teeth. he is quite hard to work out sometimes. he can go all day and not be tired until its b/time when you take him away from everything.

when he wakes during the night i do bring him inbeside, but he still has a very disturbed wrestless sleep.  if he settles easy enough in his own cot he will wake up again later on during the night again.

How was last night?

[babyrose]

he woke around 10, he was sound (sleeping in beside us)until 6:20 this morning. i think he would have slept longer if i hadnt of woken him (i started back at work today)

DH was incharge today, wnet for his nap no problem but ive just tried putting him to bed and he is screaming the place down this has actually happened b4 when i tried to put him down for his nap on friday.

[<Catherine>]

Glad you had such a good night!

How long was his nap today? And what time did you try BT?

[babyrose]

A slept for 1hr 40, we tried b/time at half 6 and he still wont go to sleep and thats with meds. i take it canines can be this bad?

[<Catherine>]

Yes, unfortunately They were the worst for DS I think.
