The Dreamland Mom

Posted by The Lovebugs at 7:09 AM
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!
