I wish I could report better news sleepwise, but alas last night was just about as bad. A full hour to get him to sleep, then again we were up every 2 hours or so and screamed bloody murder during the middle of the night diaper change! Maybe tonight we'll finally get some sleep!
On a more positive note we are slowly breaking the swing habit. He's been taking at least 1 nap a day in the pack and play and the past 2 nights we've slept upstairs (Thank god for cooler weather!). So... thats at least going well. Now I am working on getting him to fall asleep in his bed rather then nursing/eating... that is NOT going so well. I put him down drowsy and all that happens is he wakes right up and plays with his feet... and then he gets upset and starts screaming.
Tomorrow is his 4 month appointment. 4 months holy cow! When did that happen??
And finally, my cat trying to steal the spotlight away from the baby. Jealous much?
Wow, 4 months old! Does Eirik like a pacifier at all? I use one to get Kylie to sleep. I let her have it for 10 minutes and then I lay down and try to let her soothe herself. If she gets to a full cry I let her have it again for 10 minutes. When I started I had to give it to her 3-5 times, now most nights it's once or twice.
ReplyDeleteHe has a pacifier... but he's fickle about it. He's not in love with it and sometimes he'll just spit it out and suck on his thumb but sometimes it helps!
