Hi everyone. I have a 4 weeks old son. He joined our family through adoption and his birthmom was on methadone so he was in the NICU for the first 20 days as they weaned him. Because of this, I'm just starting to get him in a routine. At night he wakes every 2.5 to 3 hours to eat but goes right back to sleep after I change his diaper. I’m not too concerned about waking this often because he’s still pretty small (he was just over 7 pounds a week ago). During the day, I have him on a 3 hour EASY although sometimes I let him sleep longer if I know he needs the sleep. The problem is that he fights his daytime naps so much. If I rock him or walk around with him, he cries and fusses for over an hour. When he finally goes to sleep, it’s almost time to eat again so he’s left super overtired by the afternoon and then will finally pass our for several hours. The last few days, I have been trying the shush pat method to get him to sleep but no matter what I’ve tried, he doesn’t fall asleep. Could someone give me ideas for what I am doing wrong? When I see him yawn (usually between 40-60 minutes after waking), I swaddle him, being him upstairs to his room, tell him it’s time for sleep, rock and sing him a lullaby and then lay him in his crib. I shush pat him for 45 minutes and he only fusses a bit but never falls asleep! This last time, I tried shushing and putting a hand with firm pressure on him instead. I also used a hand to block the light and stop the pacifier from falling out. Within 10 minutes, he was calm, his eyes moved between shut and almost shut and he was sucking on his pacifier. I thought I had finally gotten it but then he stayed like this for another 35 minutes so I gave up. Should I be doing it for longer? I also use an app for shushing because I was getting a little lightheaded from doing it so much. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am having a hard time finding time to eat even so I am desperate for him to go to sleep and stay asleep during naps.
