I totally need some help/advice/guidance anything…
Jett has no routine and that is my fault but trying to get him to bed at a suitable time is like pulling teeth.:doh:
He was fine until he went into the toddler bed and now it is just fun and games. I think I need to get tough, but I am clueless..
If anyone can share their routine or how they keep their tot in bed I would love it.
I hope this method would help
Hi dani
I totally understand how you're feeling right now..as my baby Jason (6 weeks old) didn't have a routine in the first few weeks...he use to sleep throughout the day, wake up at night or even a combination of both day and night. So i tried many methods but the one that seemed to work most for me is during day time, keep it noisy either by putting some music on, talking loudly beside him, keep the room bright, talk or sing to him, keep him awake etc. Then at night, when his wide awake, i'll turn all lights off...make sure it's really quiet and then i'd cuddle & pat him by my side until his asleep, once he was deap in his sleep...i would put him back in his cot. I kept doing that for a few days regardless of how long i have to stay up at night or whatsoever...and eventually he became use to that routine. So now his awake during day time sleeping only once or twice, and at night time, he'll sleep throughout the night, hence, waking up every 3 hours to feed and then back to sleep again. I hope this would work for you as it did for me! Good luck!
