Over the last week we had one night of one feed only (at 4am) which was a 6hr sleep. I thought wow! Then, since then its been bad, often 4 or more feeds at night (although they are mostly early morning approaching dawn i think)... maybe as LJ said a developmental curve? Hoping he goes back to his usual 2 feeds or night (or less) soon, as this new thing is messing with me.
Generally though, aside from erratic day sleeps I still have a very happy, giggly man who is alot of fun to play with . He screams alot with joy now too, and loves standing up on my knees (past few weeks).
As im sitting here typing with him sitting on my knee, he is trying to touch the keyboard as I type - very inquisitive!
I have just started trying to get Ciaran to have his day naps in his cot (he normally sleeps in the car, sling, in bouncer or wherever I am), since he hasnt used his cot once (I love the co-sleeping!). But, when in put him in it, he is waking up. Now granted he isnt a very good day sleeper (hasnt ever been) but does sleep for an hour when we are in the car or sling. Otherwise though, he only cat naps during the day... So im struggling with leaving him in the cot when he wakes up - dont want him to lay there and play but associate it only with sleep. Any suggestions for me on how to make this transition? Im not ready to sleep apart from him at night yet, but though I could start with the day naps and build up from there.
Did have personals in my first post, but am time poor today so will try and come back to say hi!
