Fynn and I are finally done with middle of the night meals! I am very excited about that. Of course, I am still getting up 4-6 times a night to soothe/coax him back to sleep. I am convinced I have instilled some bad sleep habits and I am trying to fix my mistakes. I think he can't put himself back to sleep. Now I know he is not hungry but those little sleep disturbances wake him up and he just can't go back down on his own.
Here's what we're doing: I have been trying to put him down before he's over tired to let him fall asleep on his own and he's getting there but it could take him half an hour with me "helping" out when he gets desperate. I don't pick him up but I do use the pacifier (!) and rub his back or shimmy him a little. Last night we did this at 1:00,2:15,3:00,3:30,4:30, and I finally fed him at 5:00. I am trying to follow the advise of "The Baby Whisperer", anyone familiar with her?
I would love some advise- but I am not ready for Ferber and we aren't willing to go with Dr. Sears. Anyone have any other tips? |
