The past couple of weeks have been rough! You have been sleeping like a newborn again. I've heard this is typical around this age(3-4 months). The first couple of nights after daycare you were sleeping about the same or until around 4am and then wanting to eat but now you are back to waking up over and over. Some nights it was around 11, 1, 2, 4, 5 etc.. We'd have to give you your paci and rub your back and you'd usually go back to sleep. This has just made for one tired mommy and daddy. I took out my middle of the night pumping around this time too in hopes of getting more sleep and only having one of us up to feed you in the middle of the night. You had other ideas in your head though. We are really hoping this is just a phase and you go back to being a pretty good sleeper. It would be so nice if you could make it through the whole night without needing to eat or at least only waking up to eat like you used to. We can hope.
Last night we tried to attempt sleep training you. Wed lay you down to put yourself to sleep which you were getting good at the first time going down for the night. The past couple of nights you were just not having it..taking about 30 mins to get to sleep. When you'd wake up shortly after wanting your paci wed wait 5-10 mins before going in. You would cry and then stop and then go back to crying and then the cries just got louder. Eventually we gave in and gave you your paci and then you went right to bed. You managed to only wake up around 1 to eat and then slept till 6. Hopefully things are going to get better! Wish us luck in sleep training you. Its so hard to hear you cry.
One of these days he will surprize you and start sleeping all night. He HAS to.........
