Not sure whats going on, need help
« on: March 19, 2006, 16:02:21 pm »
I didn't know if I should post this here or night wakings so I did both. Sorry!

Jency normally wakes up between 7-7:30 has 3 meals of 3oz has one snack fo 1oz, BF 4x during day, has 2 naps =3hours, bed between 7:30-8:00, DF 10pm 4-5oz, then wakes once to nurse.

Night #1
Woke 3 times and nursed was up 30 min at one point.
Day#1
Normal routine to a T!!
Night #2
Slept all night (First time ever!!!!  Woke 2x but put self back to sleep)
Day#2
Woke up 6am, 45 min morning nap, 1.5 hour afternoon nap, nursed ever 3 hours (5x), DF only 3oz
Night #3
Slept all night (woke 2x put self back to sleep)
Day#3
woke up 6:30am (had MOPS group) slept 30 min on the way, slept 30 min home, slept 1 hour in afternoon (really late nap though 4pm-5pm), nursed every 3 hours, DF 30 min early took 3oz
Night #4
Slept all night ("     ")
Day #4
woke up 6:30am, Normal routine, but no 1oz snack, had 3.5 hours of nap
Night #5
DF 6oz (drained bottle, may have taken more if offered), woke at 3:45am starving (tried orajel and what not still crying even holding.  Attacked sippy cup of water)
Day#5
(today)  Up 7:15, Nurse 7:30, 8:00 breakfast 4oz!!! (now we have church so I can't work on his routine :()

My question.  I don't know.  I don't know what to even ask I'm so confused.  Can any one make heads and tails of this?  I would like him to have his normal routine and sleep all night.  I was going to start taking the DF out since he was only taking 3oz and sleeping until 6:30ish but after last night I don't know. 

Here's what I would like

7:30 Up and nurse
8:00 breakfast
9:30/10:00 nap for 1-1.5 hours
11:00 up and nurse
1:00 lunch
2:00 nap for 1.5 hours
3:30 up and snack (nurse)
6:00 dinner
7:30/8:00 bath, nurse, story and bed
Asleep around 8:30

Hey Adria:  I had taken teh df out for O and now he's downing 10oz!!!!!  I think it may be a growth spurt.  Your routine is a little random at night with the wakings, but it's sooooo much better than it used to be.  So, I guess I dont' have very much help for you.  Maybe keep with the df for a little longer and try to take it out again. 

Do you think maybe he needs more food at meal times?  I think O is up to 5 or 6 cubes at a time now. 

HTH

I think your right.  I am going to keep the DF for a little longer.  Now that we don't have anyother feedings at night, I"ll wait till he gets ajusted to that.  And as far as feeding more solids I try!  He refuses more then 3-4oz!  I don't know how to get him to eat more solids.  He was when we first started solids but then he went through that eating strike and now it is like pulling teeth (except that he doesn't have any) to get him to eat more then 3-4oz!

Thanks for your help.

Happy I could help.  Not sure if it will work though.  Who really knows unless we try?
