Glad to hear he is doing better Ck, hopefully it was just one of those random things maybe some tummy pain or whatever.
Lilly's days are still really unsettled but not becuase of the Colic now, becuase she can't switch off and go to sleep during the day. I've started trying a routine for nap time, as I think becuase of all the tummy issues she has has she hasnt' gotten herself into a routine for day sleeps and we have just been doing whatever to get her to sleep. She has a really hard time settling. Won't settle in my arms so we are doing in cot settling for now with sleeping bag and dummy.
It's been hard the last 2 naps becuase she constantly wakes. Or wakes after 15-30mins. She is so tiredNight times are fine however, I've ordered some block out curtains as perhaps it is too bright in her room and she has issues settling with the extra distraction.
After much persistance through 2 naps times today I seem to have gotten her to go to sleep finally. I never let her cry, I'm always in comforting once she starts to cry but its been tough getting her to sleep. She is getting really miserable and hard to manage during the day so I know she needs the down time. I've been doing feed, play, and then when she yawns taking her upstairs doing nappy change/check telling her its sleepy time, putting her in her sleeping bag and then giving her a cuddle until sleepy, if she starts to cry I use dummy to soothe in arms and walk and pat till sleepy then pop her into bed.
Each time she wakes, I wait until she is crying (she does the half assed cry/grizzle first) I calm her with bum pats and dummy until calm starting to get sleepy again and then leave. Rinse and repeat I don't know how many times today gees.
Hopefully this works, as she really needs to start getting more ZZzzz
Hopefully it will right itself in a week or so, after 8 weeks of inconsitancy from being unwell it's not a wonder she is all over the place
Keep your fingers crossed for me it is hard work!
