Seeking Help with day sleeps

[nagromeyk]

thanks for that Kellmay. Yeah he is pretty good at self settling, doesnt make much fuss at all. He puts himself to sleep ok but I just would like to figure out what it is that makes him wake up. Last night he had pants on, a shirt, his mittens and socks as it was quite cool.

I persevered with BF for the first 4 weeks - milk supply wasnt good. He is a big eater and my body couldnt keep up with his demands so now he is FF. At the moment he does feed every 3 hours - 150ml usually or close to LOL ..... did I say hes a little piggie hehe I always wrap him when I put him down.

I asked the nurse yesterday about a formula that would sustain him a little longer and she suggested the Lactose Free Karicare as it apparently has more protein in it. I started that last night and I am thinking thats probably why he slept from 9pm till 2am LOL

Trish - I have briefly read information on 'sleep cycles'. I think that is his problem too. How do I know how long the first cycle is? At the moment it seems to only be like 30 minutes tops that he will be 'napping'.

I am not one to rush into his room the very first noise I hear. Have become accustomed to his stirring cry compared to his "i need attention" cry hehe
I usually leave him a few minutes - no more than 5 minutes before I'll go in and yeah I do what you said you did with your DS and usually rub him on the chest and sometimes I even massage his head in a circular motion - he loves it!!

For now I have to persevere with it dont I - I guess I was just expecting it would of just all happened by itself but realise now it's not always that straight forward LOL
