How old is your child? - 8 months
What’s his/her daily routine?
* At this time not a very good one due to major teething -separation anxiety (I think) a new helmet he has to sleep in and learning to roll from back to tummy........here was today
wake 6:30
bottle 7 - 6-7ozs
solids 8 - cereal and fruit usually
Nap at 9:00 - slept 1.5hrs
bottle at a 11:00
lunch at 12:00
nap at 1:00 (only slept an hr today phone woke him up
)
A time till
solids at 5:00
6:15 bath and bottle at 7:00 - to bed after (only tonight he stayed awake and rolled around all over and didn't fall asleep till 7:30)
What’s nap routine? - i try to get him awake for 3hrs but he has never been able to stay awake as long as that 2.5 and hes ready (if i stretch him he gets overtired and doesn't sleep as long) I sit with him usually and rock/sing to him until I see a few yawns in a row and then I put him in awake and sit next to the crib (only as of late cause he usually freaks now when il leave) and sing and shhh him till he is pretty sleepy then i slip away
How long are naps? - usually 1.5 - 2hrs (on a normal day)
Do you bottle or breastfed?? - bottle
How much? or how long? every 4
How many wakes per night? ha!!!!! last night he was up at 8:15 and back down just a shhhh and pat and he was out - then he was up every20 mins from 10:30 - 12:30 - needing shh pat and picking up etc., up again at 3:30 same routine to get him down - then up again at 6:30 for breaky and to start the day.............
When you go to him/her is she fussing or crying? Or is it a mantra cry? well normally i would wait till it sounds like i am needed to make sure he isn't going to go down on his own but lately I have been going in cause he doesn't ever get there and if Islip in right away and just give a quick shhh and pat he's out again (most of the time) I get him settled by sitting next to the crib and softly singing to him patting him or gently resting my hand on him and shhhh'ing, seems to work quickly some times others not sometimes i think i've got him and as soon as i get up and go he wails others hes out (but not for long)
What have you tried to settle?? mentioned most of them - we have a sleep sheep in his crib we turn on and it shuts off automatically on its own after 20 mins it plays a soft rain noise - sometimes we have the fuzz on the radio on very softly as we live near the street
Are there developmental issues such as teething or milestones? major teething rolling and new helmet
Do they have a prop? If so what is it? no props - not that i think are props - his prop his thumb!!!!!!
Do they have a lovie? yes he has a blanky I always give him - he likes to rub it against his face and rub it with his fingers
So What do you think?
!!!!!
every 20 mins..........gotta be separation anxiety!!!
