Thanks your reply 😊
Typical (non ideal day)
7am wake up (I wake him or he's been moaning for 10 mins)
7.10 - feed (5-6oz with infant gaviscon for reflux)
7.30 - activity (jumperoo, talking, watching TV, walking around)
8.30-9 (have been trying to push him later but sometimes can't) down for nap - goes down easily, on sofa next to me, independently sends himself off to sleep
9.30-11 - wake up (he's been now only having 45mins nap because I think I'm ignoring his cues and going by the clock and he's OT when he goes down most days)
11- feed (5-7oz)
11.15/11.30 - activity
12-1 - nap (depending on when he went down in the morning and how fat I can push him)
12.45-3 wake up (same thing as the morning)
3 - feed (5-7oz)
3 onwards mr grumpy, fussy, screaming
Won't cat nap for longer than 20 mins
6.45 feed - fussing (6-7oz)
7-7.15 - bath (loves his bath)
7.15 - massage/moisturise and down - sometimes without a sound and again falls asleep independently, other times 10 mins of screaming.
Anywhere between 2-5am wakes for 15-30 mins - moans (no screaming or crying)and we put dummy in 2-3 times and he settles and goes to sleep
5.30-7am pretty much awake and grumbling/ moaning
Naps have no become a nightmare since my last post - he was a great napper before we started the 4 he EASY and think it's cause before (no routine) I read his sleepy cues immediately (anywhere between 1 - 1/2 hours awake) and he'd go down and sleep for at least 2 hours and sleep through noise and everything. No I'm pushing for 2 hours awake
What am I doing wrong??? Should I do EASAEAS?
If he only has 45 mins on that first nap my day becomes hell - I'm currently holding my breath as I write this - hoping he doesn't wake up at 45 mins (9.30) and daren't leave his side to make sure I try to settle before he kicks off
