How old is your child? 4 1/2 months
What’s his/her daily routine? Awake at 6 S: 7:30 E: 9 S: 11-11:30 E: 12 S:1-4 E:4 Catnap 5:30-6 E: 6 Bedtime 8
What’s nap routine? typically 2 long naps and one cat nap at dinner time
How long are naps? between 1 1/2 to 3 hours
What's bedtime routine? Time? pajama change with big sister, story time, prayers, break of 20 minutes so I can get my 2 year old to bed then final feed, swaddle and then into bed.
Do you bottle or breastfed?? Breastfeed although lately I have been supplementing 2-4 ounces per feed because I have been worried about my supply and I was wondering if she hasn't been getting enough during the day.
How much? or how long? she is only eating about 10 minutes per side if that lately
If breastfed.. one side or both?? (at each feed) both sides. I don't have enough of a supply to do one side feedings.
How many wakes per night? 3 usually 11:30, 2:30, 5:30 and then sometimes she will go back to sleep until 7:30 but usually up at 6:30
What’s your LO like when waking at night? How long is he/she up? she goes right back to sleep after she eats with no problems.
When you go to him/her is she fussing or crying? Or is it a mantra cry? hmmm sometimes it is just a small fuss...very rarely does she cry but i wake up at the slightest noise.
What have you tried to settle?? up to this point I have just fed her.
What do you do for A time and how long is it? tummy time, swing, errands, playing with toddler, walks. usually about 40 minutes.
Are there developmental issues such as teething or milestones? don't know. I don't remember when milestones are and i guess teeth are possbile but she isn't showing much of the signs.
Have you introduced cereal? no
Do they have a prop? If so what is it? she has a pacifier although she is showing signs of giving it up.
Do they have a lovie? no. she hasn't shown any interest.
Okay, so she used to sleep through and do 1 feeding around 2am. I used to have her sleep in her carseat but recently gave that up because of her flat head. I don't think this all started because of the transition, I seem to remember it being an issue before, but it has been going on for about a week and I am so sleep deprived that I don't think really well right now. I have tried giving her extra formula for feedings and maybe I just need to change her to a 4 hour schedule but I have yet to attack that one. If you have any ideas I would be happy to hear them. No need to be kind, just help me fix it.
thanks,
Alisha
