I just finally figured out a nap routine that worked great a few weeks ago, and now this week, DS has decided it does not work anymore!
I did have him taking two, very good long naps, at around noon, and 4 pm. When I notice cranky tired fussing, I lay down with him and we nurse. He nurses to sleep, and maybe about an hour into his nap, he would fuss and move a bit with his eyes closed, and I would lay back down next to him, he would latch back on and nurse himself back into his nap.
This was awesome, because he was much happier in the evenings, and I had some time to either nap as well, or get some things done around the house.
He is not having it this week! I nurse him to sleep, and he appears to be out like a log. Nope. 10-15 min later, his eyes are OPEN, and he is either cranky or really mad! Nurse and repeat.
He is so tired by the evening, and he is just cranky and onery. He is also going to sleep at night later than he was (was around 9pm and now is around 10-11) AND is also waking up around 2am and staying awake for about an hour, which is also new.
We are both tired, and I am so frustrated.
Is this a phase at this age? He is almost 3 months. Anyone else going through this right now, or any suggestions on getting him to stay asleep? I can GET him asleep... I just need him to stay that way!!!
