Hi! I hope someone can help me here. No one is responding to me on naps or breastfeeding board. My dd had a cyst on her lung and got it and part of it removed 2 weeks ago. She was in NICU for 4 days. She has been off all meds for at least 7 days. She was doing great before this however we did go from 5 feeds a day to 6 right before surgery because of growth spurt. I wouldlike to drop to 5 again, but unsure of how. She did this on her own before.
I am so sleep deprived and feel bad for ds because i am always trying to get dd to nap. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How old is your child? 5 mo.
What’s his/her daily routine? It was 4 hour EASY. Now it is all over the place.
What’s nap routine?- She basically would go happily into crib and she sometimes does, but they are too short. Or sometimes she screams and cries for awhile.
How long are naps? 45 mins if I am lucky.
What's bedtime routine? Time? We play a quiet game with my ds and then we read a book. Then she falls asleep and she use to stay asleep until df. Now she is up 45 min after she is put to bed and cries. We can usually calm her with her pacifier and she goes to sleep real quick again. Does not need pacifier all the time to go to sleep. I think when she is overtired she needs it.
Do you bottle or breastfed?? bf
How much? or how long? 10 mins. It was for 15 min. before we went back to 6 times a day.
If breastfed.. one side or both?? (at each feed) use to be one side. Now she goes back and forth on both sides about two times each in a 10 min period. Sometimes a little less. DF and first in morning are 10 in. one side no fussing, playing or pulling off.
How many wakes per night? 3 or 4, this morning more like 6 times.
What’s your LO like when waking at night? How long is he/she up? She cries and we give her a binky. And she will usually go back right away unless it is after 5, then it will be a screaming cry. I will feed her then and she will go back to sleep and sleep more soundly. I try not to feed her until 6 but this morning she was screaming and i didn't want ds up too. She use to sleep thru the night from df to 7:30-8 and wake up happy. And this was with 5 feedings a day!
When you go to him/her is she fussing or crying? Or is it a mantra cry? I give a few min. and then give bink and she settles down. She did mantra cry 2 times a few nights ago and soothed herself back 2 times and made until 6:50. I thought we were thru with this, but i guess not.
What have you tried to settle?? bink or shusshing
What do you do for A time and how long is it? It is usually 1.4 hrs. or 2. Today she would not nap. Finally took one at 12. She got up at 7:15!
Are there developmental issues such as teething or milestones? teething, but that has been for a long time now
Have you introduced cereal? Why, how much, and how many times a day? (for LO’s under 6 months)No, and i don't plan on it till she shows signs,
Do they have a prop? If so what is it? bink
Do they have a lovie?trying to find something. how do i do this sucessfully? She will suck on blanket in strollers.
