Hi there, well I have had a breakthrough!!!!
My mum has a friend who is a mothercraft nurse and has 4 children of her own, who came over to help me..
Well she soon realised that our Toby was a very active boy. I told her that we have been trying to put him to bed after about 1 - 1.5 hours of awake time as we were watching his tired signs.
Well she taught me a new way. We kept him up for longer, went for a 5 min walk ( cause he screamed), let him kick his legs around with no nappy on, and just kept him stimulated until he was really really tired, about 3 hours of awake time. Gave him a feed, sat him up a little and put him in a gro bag, dummy and went into his dark room where I was playing soft music.
I had to rock him for 5 mins, but then he went straight to sleep and slept for 3 HOURS!!! can u belive it? cause I couldnt and he has woken all rested. Im soo proud of my little man... This makes more sense to me, he has to be really worn out so he will sleep longer....
You guys should try it, Im going to aim for 2 x 2hour naps and one short one before dinner....Im very excited about our new routine....I hope it continues with these great results....
