Co - Sleeping is soooo much easier than dealing with the reality of actually finding and sticking to a bedtime routine that works. That's right. Our Little Lovebug was 12 weeks yesterday...and STILL not sleeping through the night. Not really even semi-sleeping. He sleeps for a few hours, wakes up screaming for food and usually falls back asleep in our bed.
So here is roughly our new nightly routine:
8:00 Bath/Dress in pajamas
8:20 Feed while rocking on rocking chair with dim lighting
After feeding - changing
8:45 - Read Story/Say prayers
9:00 Put into crib, rub belly, play soft soothing music
9:01 - Sleeping child? We shall see!
Hopefully all of that plus many prayers will make for some peace around bedtime.
Three month olds are supposed to get 10 hours of sleep a night. Putting him to bed for 9:00 will eventually cause him to sleep until 7:00 in the morning. In theory, of course! Anything is worth a try!
