He was now 17wks (amazing how quickly the weeks go past). I go to sleep with him, as this is my best time to get any sleep!Īfter Christmas I tried him in his cot again. Bath is?at 7pm ish then my partner brings him to our bed for final feed at 730pm to 8pm. His late afternoon nap is always on me but I'm always figgeting or needing the toilet, which rouses him. This nap lasts at the most 1.5hrs but normally about 40mins.

Plus this enabled me to go out.?He normally stays awake up to 2hrs after which I try to get him to sleep again?by walking him ?in the pram or another drive this is to ensure he has another nap without falling asleep on me. I started this due to him crying when I lay him in the cot.
About 2hrs after awaking I?head out in the car & he normally falls asleep quickly in car, sleeping varies 30min - 1.5 hrs. Quite early on I started a morning routine to ensure my baby had a nap. It's also meant he's got used to only sleeping on his side - mainly right side as he always wakes when I try to lay him the other side.? This is to enable me to get some sleep - I have mild MS hence I took "a path of least resistance" - to help to keep my MS mild! ? Although it helps me get sleep I can only lay him next to me without him waking & crying by waiting until he is in a deep sleep. I tried swaddling him but he always got his arms out of the blankets - wished I'd bought a swaddle!?As the night went on he'd end up in our bed until after a few weeks I wasn't even trying to lay him in the basket but just kept him in bed with me, as I still do. Although I initially started laying him in a moses basket, he rarely stayed asleep longer than 10mins due to his reflexes causing him to hit the sides. Right from the?first few nights, my baby woke at least every two hours. How can I make it less stressful for my baby?Also, should I feed him when he's been used to frequent nighttime snacking? I ask this as you mention letting the baby go hungry during night training? Question: Hi Alison, Please kindly advise what is the best approach to start your sleep training technique with my 5-mth old baby whose always slept in my bed & is breast fed? I ask as I want to start your technique, but on pg 9 of your book you explain that "if a baby's had total contact for 4-mths, to expect him to accept a complete lifestyle change will probably be very distressing for both baby & mother". Any advice would be very much appreciated. In her whole life I think she has slept through in the region of 10 times. Could she have silent reflux? Even now at 16 months old she is woken 2-3 times per night crying with the pain of trapped wind. We were referred to a dietician who said she wasnt suffering from a food intolerance and has written to her Dr recommending referral to a paedatrician. She also seems to suffer sometimes with bad breath - sometimes it smells really garlicky even if she has eaten nothing with garlic in. In addition to this she has never had a solid bowel movement, it is always very loose but slightly thicker than actual diarroreah. None of the Dr's we have seen have ever diagnosed reflux but she was prescribed infant gaviscon which didnt really seem to help much. She has never vomited after feeding, and always gained weight well. She was breastfed exclusively until 5 1/2 months old and I continued to BF until she was 14 months old. I have a 16 month old daughter who, from the night she was born suffered from horrendous colic and trapped wind.
