Well let's see his day usually goes as
615 wake up ( if he hasn't done so on his own) we get dressed and head down for breakfast
630 to 645 is breakfast
715 we are out the door for daycare
He usually has a small breakfast with the other kids at 830
1130 he has lunch (unless its Thursday he get lunch early that day cause he has Occupational Therapy at 1130)
1230 its quiet time / nap time he will usually take a good two to three hr nap
He'll get another milk / snack around 4
I pick him up from daycare at 530
6pm is dinner
If its bath night we get that at 630 if not then we get extra play time or exercises from his therapist
We start our wind down at 7pm and try to get him to lay down by 730. Wind down includes changing to PJs, a full message from head to toe, lullabies and stories.
Sometimes we can get him down sometimes he's just not wanting to lay down.
He does get PT and OT once a week. And he also takes medicine for an adrenal insufficiency that he has. The drs assured me that his medication should not be playing any part in his restlessness at night.
but some how
I don't believe them.
I didnt know there were other methods of trying to get him to sleep. Most other parents have told me the cry it out is the way to go. And I just only stumbled onto this website seeking help.
Right now our simple little routine seems to be working for him but if there is something we can tweak I would really appreciate the advice.
