Sleep update


Soooooooooo

I uploaded a post I wrote up a few months ago and oh how things have changed.
I was tired then but NOW, now the Sleep deprivation is completely different. Its anew level of tired.

Baby + sleep??? Whats that

I am going to update this so I can hopefully look back and the sleepless nights are a thing of the past.

I know my LO (3months) can sleep 8 hours at a time, its just not when it should be.

Today is Tuesday 13th February 2018, and last night my baby drank me like a tap!

We finally went to bed at 7am this morning. Where he had 5.5 hours sleep until I woke him up because, day isn’t night.

Eventually I will have set night time routine as for now I am just going to try keep him calm at night and active during the day.

Ok so the rest of the days until the 18th was a blur. However, I feel we may be on to something a few days prior I ‘fliped’him. Sounds like abuse but no. its an oldwives tale. Apparently you flip your baby head over heels a few times and it is supposed to help them fix there clock so they know night is night and day is day!

So Sunday night 7.5 hours stright

Monday night 6.5 hours straight

Tuesday night 8.41 hours straight
Wednesday night 8.40 hours straight
Thursday night 9.12 hours straight
Friday night 6.19 hours straight (from 2am)
Saturday 6.52 interrupted sleep (from 12:49)

Been a mess again ever since L

However he is now teething at 4 month here we go again

DIY smash cake

My sons first birthday came a long and i wanted pictures to create memories of course. I had seen smash cake photographers for around £150 plus which i thought was a bit crazy for a few pictures and a cake he would be smashing. i think my pictures turned out pretty ok before editing. What i needed.... balloons, party banners, lights, cake, cake stand, camera and lights. I baked the cake as i bake- you can bake a cake from a packet if baking isnt your thing. I already had a camera and camera lights but expensive things are not 100% necessary. A decent lit room and a phone with a good camera ie iPhone 8 will do the job nicely. everything costed around £10.   He was not very keen at first Even at his age he hates messy hands!! Was pleased with how it ended  xx

Ferber method on 10 month old

Image
We are currently on day three of the sleep training which is killing me. I am only looking at night sleep as i feel there will be far too much crying trying to include naps also. He is a consistent night waker wanting a cuddle or boob. Night one- Baby went down at 11:00 where the crying began all the way up until 00:29, where he finally fell asleep. We started out leaving him for 5mins, 7mins, then every 10mins. I feel as though the checking on him makes him cry 10 times harder but i feel even more guilt if i let him cry for longer. so what do i do? Anyway, after he fell asleep he woke up at 8:17, which was unbelievable for him. You would think at 10months he would be sleeping longer stretches but no. I am working on a routine at the minute and trying to get him to bed earlier but if his second nap is late it messes things up. I'll be back for night two! xx
