Hi Pink Palace- maybe he is wanting a little bit of constant noise at night in his room- maybe a radio playing softly or something like that.
Or even the old trick of a ticking clock near his bed- so the he ehars the constant ticking like the heartbeat and that will help him to sleep a bit longer!
mmm ticking clock - might need to look into that,
might try some music
i am going to try him in his own room instead of cosleeping tonight to see if it is me waking him?
Yeah, I agree with StarBright, we were making sure that Jazz would sleep through noise during the day, so she was in the lounge room with us, and then at night we'd put her in a silect room and she'd just keep waking up and being unsettled, not hungry. We use the TV or radio and put it on low, we put a timer on it but keep the remote handy, when she wakes up we'd turn it back on for a bit to help her fall asleep.
She usually stirs a little around mignight now but I don't need to turn anything on, we just have something on low when she's falling asleep the first time.
Oh, and if anything cosleeping would be helping him fall back to sleep, with having you there. Without you he might wake up and cry not knowing where you are.
My son is the same! Sleeps a good 3hs between feeds during the day then at night wakes every hour or so. But i noticed he was very active in the night when i was pregnant so hopefully he will grow out of it.
Ah, babe, sorry! I think it took Natty about 3 weeks to not be wakeful at night? Thing is, she did sleep 3-4 hour blocks at night but in the middle of those blocks she'd be awake for about 2-3 hours! I think it was about 3 weeks. to you, PP. You're doing great!
It took Ashlea about 2 or 3 weeks to work out day and night, she was sleeping through from 5wks old. Jayden I can't really remember I think about the same or a bit later but he slept through from 7wks old.
Its only early days yet, I would keep Ethan in your room longer...I wouldn't think you're waking him up he spent 9mths listening to you sleep....Both my kids can sleep through DP's snoring and that is like nothing you have ever heard of! LOL
GL hope Ethan works it out soon for you! Oh have you thought of cluster feeds at night? It may see him through a bit longer.
