Hi,
my 9 month old is giving me what he's got lately:( We were almost on track when the time changed.
He used to sleep from 8pm to 7am. He is not an independent sleeper (sometimes he knows how to fall asleep on his own). Now, after time change it's a disaster:/
He is constantly standing up when I try to put him down. When he does, I lay him back down over and over. Without putting up though.
His new thing is, when I try not to come, he would throw his teddy out of the crib, then his paci. And screams at me until I pick them up again.
He cannot sleep without a pacifier. And I seriously think of just throwing it out.
He sleeps around 2.5h a day. Sometimes I manage to put him down twice, but that happens less and less.
He wakes up 4:30 (his 5:30 before the time change) and is up until 6. Then falls asleep and WU 8am. That is throwing our whole day out:(
WU 7:00 I would assome that should be our normal WU
7:15 bottle
8:30 breakfast
11-12:30 or 1 S
1:00 bottle
2:30 dinner
4:30 half an hour nap or none
5:00 supper
7:00 bottle and BT
8:00 asleep
Mornings are the worst. During the night he can wake up 2 times, but in the morning I just can't put him down:(
I think I got lost... I am trying to hold on to 2 naps as long as I can, because he is only 9 months. He can go 4h A time without a blink.
I don't know how to put him down anymore.
I hold him in my arms on the chair with paci in for a while and put him in the crib half asleep. I do it for 2 weeks now and I think It came as AP because I didn't know what to do:(
How can I teach him how to fall asleep on his own? Do I lay him down everytime he stands up? I talk to him, pat his back but I don't think he understands the invitation to lay down yet.
Paci is another question, but I will start the topic in prop section.
I think my general question is, how can I go back to the times when I was putting him down, kiss and walk away
? (I know it's not possible, but how can I make it better).
