Well we do have progress!!! At the moment DS is sleeping soundly in his sidecar cot while I sit on the bed typing. He now is able to be fed to sleep in the day and will sleep without me there for about 20 minutes, sometimes half an hour and on one glorious day 2 hours!!!! He still gets his major sleeps in the sling when I am out and about but I no longer use it in the house. The big difference is he has sometimes stayed asleep after being transferred from sleeping on a shoulder or sleeping in the carseat. I even changed his nappy once while he was asleep and he didn't wake up. He grizzled but stayed asleep!!! His sleeps are still short but he usually wakes up refreshed from them so I guess he is getting what he needs!
At night he has recently started sleeping for about an hour in his sidecar by himself before we come to bed but I am still working on putting him back in there after nighttime feeds. I have to admit the first night he went in his sidecar I couldn't sleep and just kept watching him, wishing it was time already for his next feed as I missed him in the bed!!! I think this has all been possible because of his natural settling down since he has grown (that magical 3 month mark everyone was telling me to wait for!!) and hopefully because of the security I gave him by meeting his needs.
Thanks again!!!
