  Nope.  My baby has been rocking the sleep!  I started reading Feber last night.  I was thinking of starting it now (our babies are about the same age (2/23)).   But realized he should be a good 4 months before we start. 

  What is your DS doing to make feel like he's in that stage?

  Refusing to sleep. Thought it was a growth spurt, but its been going on for 3 weeks. Never had issues this long. He is awake every 2 hours at night now, and refusing to nap during the day. I ready happiest baby on the block and no cry sleep solution, and we are trying a combo of both of those. Nothing really seems to be helping. I have not ready anything on ferber yet.

  DS stopped STTN about 10 days ago. Now he keeps waking up earlier and earlier. Last night he was up at 12 again after having dropped that feeding at 6 weeks. I'm planning to ferberize in a month and a half. Hope I survive that long.

  Me! DS was sleeping 8-between 4 and 6. He's been adding in a wakup for the last week or so. It started at 3am, and has been moving backwards. Last night he was up at 12:30 and then again at 4:45. I know it could be a lot worse, but I miss him sleeping through! He eats a ton every time, so I think he's just growing, and I'm hopeful he'll get back on track soon.

  That sounds like us. Last few nights he is down at 5:30pm, up at 7 then up at 12 then up at 2 then up at 5 then up at 7. He wont nap during the day no matter what, even in his swing. If he does its about 5-25 minutes tops.

  Trying to get a schedule going, and trying to get things in a routine and the only thing weve got so far is when sleepy cues come we do bath and pjs and bed. But thats at random times. 

   

  I dont agree with the ferber method or any method that allows a baby to CIO so we wont be trying that. Right now we are doing the no cry sleep solution.
