Oh dear it has all gone wrong. I had perfected shhh pat when DS was three months but he has always been a 45 minute napper. He is now 4 and a half months. I didn't feed to sleep and now do it obsessively as it is the only time he will feed(distracted).
At night, He sometimes sleeps through until 5 after dreamfeed and then after a brief feed will go down until 7. When he wakes then he will have 3 short 45 min naps in the day. Other nights he wakes at 2, then 4, then 6 and will need four naps. His sleeping is not predictable yet. Should I just be going with this. I keep reading that by now he should be having three long daytime naps and of course self soothing. Should I be strict and set a routine. Wondered about pick up put down but worried my DS will starve if he doesn't feed to sleep. I can sometimes feed on waking though and he can then sleep a little longer than 45. Any advice welcome. .all my good intentions have gone to pot x x
