He's just over 6 weeks, yes. He does have some spit up issues we're working out with a chiropractor and he seems to be getting better. I'm also still figuring out which foods trigger more spit up. It does affect his sleeping sometimes but not always. Here's today:
E 7 AM (we were both in and out of sleeping, I think)
A
S 8:30 (Our routine is I put on whitenoise, close blinds, swaddle, and hold him. I've been experimenting with how he does if I put him down sooner or hold him longer. Using the paci vs. not using it, etc. For this nap, I used the paci and held him for awhile...he was pretty much sleeping when I put him down. He woke up at 9, I think. I was exhausted this morning so DS2 was watching tv and I was laying down. I brought him into bed with me. AP, I know, but we plan on co-sleeping anyway, so I'm not too worried about that part...and this is only the first or second time I've done it during a nap because I'm not usually laying down. He woke up one other time while we were in bed and I just kinda shushed him back to sleep.)
E 10 AM
A
S 11: something...ugh, can't remember. But this nap was awful. He woke up and I dedicated my time to patting him. He'd settle and fall back asleep, I'd continue to pat. Several minutes would go by and he'd jolt awake, sometimes cry, sometimes not, and we start the process over again. I was in there with him probably 45 minutes and he never really fell off. Then he woke a final time and it was time to eat anyway.
E 1 PM
A
S 2 PM- This time I put him down faster and he dosed off on his own. He woke up at 45 minutes. Would cry, then calm, then cry, then calm. When I went in, he looked exhausted and within a couple pats, his eyes were closed and he was calm. But then we "did the dance". He'd jolt, cry, calm, jolt, cry, calm. I'm patting and shushing the entire time. He did spit up a couple times during this. After 30 minutes of this, I picked him up. He calmed down but still did the jolt, cry, calm thing even in my arms. I held him until it was time to feed and he never really fell into a deep sleep.
E 4 PM

S 5 PM in the sling CN
E 6 PM

S 7 PM.....tonight isn't a good gauge for how things go because we had to be out at a friend's house.
