Early AM crib partys are back

[Skadiver13]

Yeah that night he slept till 5:30am woke briefly, I went in quickly patted his behind and he slept till 6:30. That was great. He's still settling for naps and BT by himself which is great. But yesterday I did exactly the same easy. One good 2hr nap in the AM, 45min nap in the PM 3.5hrs to bed time. He woke at 3:15am I tried to resettle w/o feeding and it didn't work he got really fussy and seemed really hungry so after 30min I fed him. I fed 3oz water 1 scoop formula which is what I've been doing. But he didn't fall back asleep till 4:10. Then he woke at 5:50 for the day.

It could be that because he waited for the feed which he is so used to, he got OS and it was hard for him to fall back to sleep.

I think you are right, i never even thought of that.  Last night I fed him right away and it took him only 20min start to finish to fall back asleep and slept till 6:30. He did a 1hr 45 min nap a 45min nap and in bed by 7:15. Woke at 4:1am back asleep at 4:40 wake at 6:30.. So that's good. I'll just keep up with the feed for now as he's now refusing all solids. ARGH.. Plus we're going away skiing for the whole weekend fri-mon no sense in weaning now as this will just mess with his sleep anyway.

Will update when we return. Thanks for all your help.

It does sound like a very good day!
Hope you have a great time!

[Skadiver13]

Thanks. Any tips for getting through this weekend?

[Ima shel Alon]

You don't have much choice other than trying to enjoy yourself and not worry too much about sleep
Just try and keep things as they are as much as you can, but there is not much you can do about it, so might as well try and enjoy .

Ok so we have been back since Monday. He of course got a cold the day we left so the first two nights weren't great but he still was able to stay on routine pretty much. The night we got back he slept great. But now yes,wed,thur nights he's need doing the early motning thing again. I'm not sure if its OT or UT. Tuesday he seemed OT so I put him down slightly early at 3hrs 15 min A me he did a 1.5hr nap and barely stirred. Then a 60 min nap with or s3.15hrs A before bed. Slept fro 7:30 to 4:20. I fed ghen too hil till 5 or so to get back to sleep. Slept till 6:15.

Sorry for all the typos on my stupid phone. Let me know what you think.

[Ima shel Alon]

Hope you had a good time!

I think you should try and stick to what worked on Wednesday, because that was a very good day - so 3:45h A time, then 2nd nap at 15:30 for only 45min and then BT at 19:30. Try and stick with that for a few days, if it doesn't work the first day it doesn't mean it's not going to work.

Ok so we did today
W:6:30
S: 10:15
W:12:15
S:345
W:4:30 (he woke cryin g which is unusual but was happy after he ate
But this puts us @ an A of only 3hrs before bed? I'm just worried that he's only doinf long AM naps because he's OT? But I'll stick with it for a few days.

[Ima shel Alon]

Yes, just try and stick to it for a few days. It looks like a very good day again, now praying for a good night and a good morning WU.

Thanks.. he woke at 3:50.. its funny he ether wakes @ 3:50 or 4:50 so wierd. Anyway fed him and he went back to sleep.20min start to finish which is including me going down and making bottle etc. Woke at 5:55? I was able to rock him til6:15 but he was up. And ready to go. Put him down at 10, went down easy woke at 11:40. He was trying to get himself back to sleep but couldnt so I got him up. Shooting for 3:15 nap wake @ 4 BT of 7:30 and we'll see how it goes.

[Skadiver13]

So he went down at 3:20 I woke him at 4:05 and went to put him down at 7:30 but he fought it till 7:45 not sure why. He woke at 5:10 ate 2oz but then couldn't go back to sleep for some reason just kept waking back up after 10 or so minutes not crying or anything. I ended up just rocking him from 5:30-6:30 when he woke up. Not sure what that's about. Will keep up with the 3hrs45min in the first A and see what we get.

[Ima shel Alon]

[Skadiver13]

I haven't because it changes from 4:40 to 3:50 today it was 5:10??
