I've been working on keeping him awake for 2 hours and for the past 2 days he went down very easily for his naps.
For the 1 am NW Im quite positive he is not waking up from hunger.
He falls asleep on his own. I usually hold him, turn off lights, give him his soother & blanket and cuddle for a few minutes. I put him awake in his crib and he rubs his eyes, hold his blanket and slowly falls asleep. I just don't understand why he doesn't do the same when he wakes up At night... Last night was pretty bad:
6:00 BF
7:00 sleep
8:53 Nw
9:07 Nw
9:30 Nw
9:38 DF- thought he was hungry.. Finished 2 sides
12:08 Nw
2:05 am feed
3:35 Nw
4:08 Nw
4:28 feed 1 side (again thought he was hungry, wanted to sleep!)
6:30 Nw
6:43 up for the day
8:20am feed
Hubby went 3 times ... Not sure when I was way too tired!
Like you suggested in your earlier post I'm hoping the switch from 3 to 4 hour will help. I went straight to 2 hours activity time. LO doesn't seem to mind during the day and he goes down easily. With the 4 hour I will feed him at 8, 12, 4, 6, 10 and one night feed. Should I try eliminating the night feed this way I would be consistent - every night waking I would not feed him.... Maybe this wAy he will realize there is no point waking up!!! Let's hope tonight is better
