I’m not sure there is much more I can do with his routine at the moment. He is napping at around 9am and 2pm most days, totalling between 2.5-3.5 hours over the two (depending on whether he’s napped at home) I am going to keep trying to stretch more consistently to 3h A but I definitely think 2h45 works better for him, especially before BT.
Yesterday’s EASY:
WU: 6:00
S: 8:45-9:05 (car school run) & then 10:30-11:20
S: 14:45-16:00 (I tried twice from 14:15 to put him down but he wasn’t tired at all!)
BT: 18:45
DF: 22:00- refused
NWs: 1:30 (needed APOP), 5:00 (dummy and ssh Pat)
WU 6:00
Today’s EASY so far:
WU 6:00
S: 9:00-11:00
And I’m aiming for a 14:00 S this afternoon with an 18:30 BT. Although the last 2 days, he has resisted going down at that time and has ended up closer to 15:00!
It’s funny, I was thinking about the dreamfeed myseLF last night.
He used to wake for it around 10:30, I brought it forward to 10pm to be able to wake him myself, and he started to sleep better afterwards.
The last 2-3 nights when I’ve done the DF he has at maximum had half of the feed, last night he wouldn’t take it at all. I started to wonder if perhaps he doesn’t really want it anymore and I am therefore just disturbing him for no reason.
After not DFing, as he 100% refused it, he then woke at 1:30 & wouldnt resettle in his cot. I picked him up and held him for a minute to calm him down whilst I decided if I was going to make him another feed up, and he fell back to sleep. He then woke again at 5:00 for his dummy and was up at 6:00am, taking his WU feed at 6:10.
So I might not bother with the DF now, but would you then feed on his first wake up beyond 10pm? Even though he hasn’t been having night feeds?
