I know the answer to this...but
« on: October 25, 2005, 11:46:35 am »
Am trying to get 3 1/2 month into routine for first time. On day 7 and is improving. Still cannot get back to sleep after 45 minutes. He just fell asleep on me downstairs, 35 minutes early for sleep. I put him in his cot. Sh*t - totally wrong, isn't it? He won't learn to get to sleep on his own, messes up routine, etc. etc. I just wanted a break. Had three hours of crying this morning already.

Damn. Oh well, will try again this afternoon now [which will be worse as he will have to be awake for longer now.]

Gosh this is hard.

It's okay honey.  Kids aren't the only ones who regress :wink: .  Sometimes we do what we have to to make it through the day.  Hang in there, and try again later (heck, tomorrow even).  It gets better.  And if the schedule gets out of wack, just let him sleep whenever he wants to, you'll both feel better for it.

How much awake time is your baby having between naps?

How many  naps in total?  How is nighttime sleep?


What are you doing when he wakes after 45 minutes?

Have you tried pat/shh?
