Hi everyone
I discovered BW when my twins were about 1, they started sleeping much better, we all got more energy....and as a result I have a new baby now
![Grin ;D](https://smiley.babywhispererforums.com/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)
. The twins are 2 and the newbie is 14 weeks. I am trying to roughly follow an EASY with him but haven't done any sleep training as a) I have no energy for it and b) I found it enormously traumatic last time as PUPD really wound them up so I had to spend hours shh patting 2 screaming babies. So I know I will have to do it at some stage but am waiting for a bit more emotional energy!! My husband works long hours and has a 90 min drive each way so I am on my own effectively. However the twins are in nursery 3 days a week so I am v lucky!!
The problem I have is trying to fit the baby into the twins routine. They wake up around 6 (if we are lucky!), nap 1-2:30 (longer at nursery) and go to bed around 7:30. They need to be at nursery between 8-8:30 and I pick them up between 5-5:39. It's a 5 minute drive.
We were doing:
Awake 6:30
E 6:45
S 8:00 in car on way to nursery, usually short nap
Awake 8:45
E 9:30 ish
S 10:15 - can be a long one or another short.
One more cycle the same with either a long nap 1-3 if prev one was short or (usually) another 1.5 hours or so if prev was around that.
I try and arrange pick up so he has a quick catnap in the car around 5
Bed just after the twins - usually about 7:45. Night feeds at midnight, 3.
This was working well...but all 3 of them have started getting up earlier. So today they were up at 5, he had a really overtired 30 mins at 7:30 (couldn't get him down any earlier), slept 10-11:30, 1:15-3:15, 5:30-6:00 and I have just really struggled to get him down -
Finally rocked him to sleep at 8:30 as couldn't take the OT screaming.
I need to know what to do if he wakes up really early again. Obviously I would like him to have a longer night but at the moment it's just not possible to get him down earlier and if the twins are up I can't do anything to try and keep him asleep.
I think he is getting OT but don't know what to do....I never wake him from naps and always extend them if I can!
Thoughts please....or if there are no answers please just tell me I'm doing ok ish!! Naps were a major source of stress for me in the olden days and I am desperately trying to keep some perspective. I know there will be good days and bad, I am willing to AP every nap if needed, but I cannot cope with OT.
Thanks! Am slightly frazzled....
