waht to do when shush/pat seems to make things worse?
« on: July 10, 2006, 06:17:03 am »
My 3 months old son has recently started to remain awake after his 4 am feed, I can get him settled and sleeping for a max of 40 mins and then the fight starts. I have tried to shush/pat and this worked a few times put now it just seems to wind him up further, it is like he knows that I am trying to get him to go back to sleep and he is having none of it. He is on 3 hour easy and this has worked quite well, today, because of his broken sleep it is more like ESA and it is proving diffucult to get him back on track. Any thoughts?
