Hi I'm a new to this forum and I'm a new mum to 3 month (already) baby Alexander. Up to now our life was pretty eratic. Being fairly organised person myself I thought it would be a good idea to introduce rutine to my ds. But the question is where I start. It sound great and easy indeed. My problem is he wouldn't sleep during daytime. Confess in my sins, I did put him on breast to have at least 30 min nap. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. For a couple of days now I try to put him to sleep on his own. I followed 5S rutine. Full swaddling doesn't work, he start crying if his hands are restrain, so I swaddle only low part of his body. When I take him on my arms to sit with him he would start crying and 9 times out of 10 he will cry himself out to sleep. I hate it. The whole idea of EASY as I understood to make sleeping painless both for a baby and parents. And after all this battle he would sleep 30-40 min. Then another question - should I feed him after even a short nap or should I follow time between feeds?
With all daytime strugle he is more or less fine during the night. Go to bed between 8 and 9pm. On the breast at the moment. Then ask to feed around 3 am and 6 am and fully awake at 8 am.
Thank you very much for any of your advices.
Dina
