My ds is 9 weeks old. Prior to last week he was permanently grizzly and so I started making sure he napped regularly during the day and saw a big improvement. I also started a bedtime routine and he was going to sleep at between 7.30 and 8 (then waking for feed at my bedtime). All was going well.
But this week it has gone out of the window! He is tired at bedtime, sometimes drops off but now keeps himself awake until he gets hyper through overtiredness. I admit I give in and bring him downstairs so I can eat supper etc. He then goes to bed when we do and is out like a light, through complete overtiredness, would be my guess.
Is 9 weeks too young for a routine to work effectively? Am I expecting too much - are most babies still up in the evening at this point? Should i persist with a bedtime routine that is turning into a nightmare?
