hopefully i am replying on the right place. if i don't get a response i will try contacting you directly. i am kind of new to this. my baby boy, cruz, wakes up, as i mentioned before around 4- 4:30 a.m. i keep him in his bed until 6 a.m. he nurses when he wakes up, plays, eats breakfast around 7 a.m., goes down for a morning nap around 9-9:30 a.m.( 1- 1 1/2 hours) he wakes, plays , eats lunch, takes a 4 oz. bottle, takes a nap around 1:30 or 2 p.m. (1 - 1 1/2 hours). after nap we pick up sister from school (school is out on wednesday), play, dinner, bath, books and pj's, bottle, and bed around 8 p.m. he does not nurse or take a bottle to go to sleep. his overall demeanor during the day is fair. he is in a good mood after meals. he fusses and whines a lot during the day, which i feel has to do with a lack of sleep. the few times that he has slept more at night, he has been less whiney. he also has at least 2 snacks and a sippy of soy milk during the day.
after getting your reply, i put him down at 7:30 p.m. tonite. i'll let you know how that went. i was previously putting him down earlier and it didn't seem to help. but i am going to try it again.
thanks so much for advice. look forward to hearing from you again.
thanks,
kirsten
