The Sleep Diaries, Days Three & Four
So it got worse! Thursday night I put him down at 7:20 pm, it only took 20 minutes, but there was much more crying this time, no playing. So after he went down, MawMaw and I went shopping to take my mind off it and calm down. He woke up at 9:30 pm, I just went in and quieted him down and he went right back to sleep. He woke up at 10:30 pm screaming! I went in, brought Daddy in, and he still screamed until 11:45 pm. Then I caved! I picked him up, calmed him down, and fed him. Then I put him back in his crib and he put himself to sleep at 1:30 am with NO crying. He woke up again at 4 am, but went right back to sleep after I went in. He slept until 6:30 am the next morning. Naps are still tough, it takes me 20-40 minutes to get him down every time. Not worth it in my opinion, but for the sake of consistency, I do it. Friday night I put him down early since we were in a sleep deficit, about 6:20 pm (took 20 minutes). He woke up at 9 pm to eat and then went right back down. Woke up at 2 am to eat, finished at 2:20 am and was awake in his crib until 4 am! GGRRrrrr!!! He slept until 6 am. I wish I could figure out how to get him back to sleep in the middle of the night without having to walk to floor with him for an hour or more. Sorry for the continuing saga, but it helps me keep track of his sleep patterns. I'm open to any advice at this point, just don't be offended if I don't take it ;)
