Day 3 nightwaking part 2

Well he kept getting himself settled and then would just start up again a minute later. So i would wait another min and then he would settle. Now it has been 4 mins of silence (it is 6.04) so hopefully he will sleep now until 7.30 when he should of woken. Looks like i must be tough on both of us and train him to feed over 3.5 hours! Ah!

Day 3 nightwaking

So he woke again at 5.30am. Now i read that at night you need to establish the 4 hour then feed, 4 hour routine that he has done the previous 2 nights. So this time instead of feeding him i am doing the 10 mins waiting, then sooth. He is calming down around the 5 min mark but starts up again. But then i am only 20 mins into it. Will let you know how it goes…

Day 3 nightfeed 3

He awoke 2 hours later at 1am. Now i don’t know whether that was because i only gave him 1 boob? But i have been listening to him creaking the bed a few times throughout. He grizzled after this feed for 3 mins and i think is now drifting off. Maybe he shall now sleep through to 6 or later?? Hmmm

Some little details about how I am control crying

1. Before I started this I slept in the room with Ed (my baby) now I have moved into another room with my husband and have the monitor on all the time 2. Ed is just 4 months old, he has always fallen asleep on the boob and then we fought to get him to sleep anywhere but in my arms, we had to walk about, put him in a bouncer, keep putting him back on the boob. At no point have we ever left him to...

Osteopath

£71 later and ed has hopefully completed his course of crainial osteopathy for his head. What i hear you say… Basically helps his skull to loosen and give him less grief after they tuggedhim out with salad tongs!! In other news i viewed a lovely house today, it just had no parking and a downstairs loo, plus a £230000 pricetag… I can’t wait to live in my own place!!!
