HI
Thanks for the help, I will try to implement but I don't know how today as he is completely off track.
Yes he was awake from 5.45 until 8am this am. He doesn't cry when he wakes, he plays happily in his cot, we leave him hoping he will go back to sleep. More often than not when I intervene and try and get him back off to sleep it makes him worse and gets angry. At the moment I obviously can't alter the time he wakes up until 3 1/2 hour easy is implemented and he may stay alseep longer, so what shall I do if he wakes at 5.45 or 6??
Also he is having solids for lunch, enjoying this very much and starting solids for Breakfast. Because of his awkward timings my current timings are as follows.
wake and in cot at around 5.45 or 6
Feed solid and bottle at 6.50 or 7am
I get dressed while his food digests then get him dressed
Sleep at 8am anywhere between 1 hour and 1.25 hours
9 or 9.25am wake
10.45 bottle
11.45 solids
12.10 sleep
1pm wake
2.20pm sleep
3pm wake and bottle
4.30pm catnap
5.50pm bath
6.30pm bottle
7pm bed (no problems with this one, goes to sleep a treat)!
I feel completely miserable as he has gone way off track, I can't shh pat to sleep as back is so bad now so am having to try and adjust to his wakings and when he wants to go back to sleep otherwise we have meltdown and he is very unhappy. I am aware this is a sleep issue I just don't know how to put it right. Something inside is telling me to adjust to his timings I.E if he wakes at 6am feed him then and do 4 hour easy within these times. I feel so distressed, I can't physically make him sleep if he doesn't want to or make him wake up in the morning the time I want him to.
Please help some more! Based on the above how would the 3 1/2 easy apply. Sorry to be a pain and seem like an idiot. Before DS I was a very structured, organised PA who was very bossy and in control. Now I can't seem to control anything and am finding it really hard to adapt.
