Babies: 0 - 3 Months

need sleep help

so naptime and bedtime used to never be a big deal but over the last month it has gotten awful. He used to need about 5-10 mins of rocking then put him in his crib for his nap and he would sleep for 1-2 hours and for bedtime he would rock for 10-15 mins then put him in his crib. Now for naps it takes 20-30 mins of walking around (cannot sit or he screams) then he has to be put in his swing if we put him in his crib he will sleep for maybe 30 mins and at night it takes 2-3 hours of walking before he can be put in his crib. Usually for night time he gets changed then swaddled(he still won't sleep if he's not swaddled) then fed and burped and put to bed sometimes he sleep 30 mins before he's up again other nights he's awake before I'm even out the door of his room that is when we have to walk him around. I really need some help w/ this as dh is going to start working evenings and there's no way I can deal w/ this plus a 3 year old. Usually dh and i take turns at night while the other is play w/ ds#1 or getting him ready for bed.

Re: need sleep help

  • I don't have help for you but DS is like this lately too. ?It's been getting progressively worse for bedtime for the past few weeks. ?We are likely going to start Ferber on the advice of our pedi b/c he is crying anyway no matter what we do as soon as we put him down. ?For naps he does better, but bedtime is a big fight. ?And he's so tired! ?I hope we can help him learn to fall asleep on his own soon.
