When he only naps for 45 min, do we still aim to keep him awake for the 1.20 mark? Or if he seems OT from a short nap, do we still try and keep him up? Or should we try and put him down sooner if he wakes up 45 mins in regardless of whether he seems OT or not?
Not sure why he kept refusing the bottle today. He normally only does that if we try to feed him too early and he’s not ready to eat. He normally doesn’t refuse after 3 hours, especially 4 hours (first time he’s gone that long not eating apart from overnight).
We are aiming to try and move his bedtime to accommodate the 7/7:30p area but when he naps poorly it makes it really difficult, which is why previously we were doing BT stuff around 8 or 9 some nights.
I know he’s just a little baby and not every day will be perfect but I feel like today has been a rough one. At this point we had no idea if he’s OT or UT throughout the day. Though I’m assuming eventually he became OT.
Is there anything we can do about the witching hour? As of right now me and DH just go back and forth trying to put him back down after he’s woken up and been up for a while to try and preserve our sanity lol
I am noticing the last couple days, throughout his sleeping during the night he’s been waking up about 2 hours in or so and needs to be resettled. Not sure if there’s any significance to it, but he used to slee straight through until he woke up hungry. Could this be because he’s not napping as well throughout the day? Or that he’s having problems transitioning?
And the 20 mins I was referring to was how long it takes them to fall asleep. Is it the same for when they’ve woken from sleep and need to be resettled, or after feeding him and putting him back down, that you need to wait out the 20 minutes like you would have done when they went down initially?
