I am dying right now. Shai has been killing me w/ his night wakings. It’s that much harder b/c he used to sleep thru the nite!! From 2-4 mths he was wonderful, waking only once around 2-3am for a feeding then sleeping til 7am. NOW and for the last mth he’s been waking every 2.5-3hrs thru the nite. It’s killing me. Fortunately I nurse and he goes RIGHT back to sleep, so it’s 15-20mins til my head is on the pillow again.
Fortunately however, it seems as though he’s starting to get into a nap schedule. He’s been staying up a little more during the day, for 1.5-2.5hrs. So in the morning after he wakes up (b/w 7-8a) he’s up for 1.5 hrs then goes down for his 1st nap. This one goes 45mins to 1.5 hrs. Then he’s up for 2 hrs, then another nap. It had been 45 mins, but the last cple days it’s been longer, 2-3hrs. Then he has one last 45min nap for me. Then I keep him up for at least 2hrs, bath, then bedtime b/w 6-8pm. It’s working well so far.
Wish us luck it stretches into better night schedule too!!
