I had another thread, can't find it.
He naps between 45 mins and two hours in the day.
He goes to bed at 7pm. he sleeps til 5am ish, sometimes 4:30am.
he is still tired. he is NOT ready to start the day. he rubs his eyes a lot and fusses asking to go to dds room, or the kitchen or somewhere. He does not want cuddles, or to be put down, or to go back to bed. Then at 6am he is awake and happy and starts playing with his toys, being all cute .
I have tried:
Putting to bed later
Offering water
Offering him milk from a bottle/cup (used to be bf in the morning)and still asks for this, but does not put him back to sleep anyway).
CC
Feeding him as soon as he gets up
Refusing to feed him before 6am to let him know he has nothing to wake for
Ignoring him for 20 mins (not distressed just complaining that he wants to get up)
Having DH getting up with him
Soft music
Yesterday he drank 150ml of milk and a sandwich at 530am but not in one go, sips of milk and bits of sarnie, while also crumbling sanie and tipping milk.
This morning he has mostly been pointing out of the front room door going 'there? or periodically trying to my boobs (half heartedly).
A few weeks ago, can't even remember when, he slept 3 days in a row til 6-6:30am. And then started waking at 4:30am, now back to normal. and the odd night waking.
am i doomed to no life for the foreseeable future? all i do is work kids sleep.
