The only other thing I can offer that is maybe helpful, and took me MANY months to come to terms with, is that even if you are a schedule person, your baby might not be. I tried so many different things, schedule attempts, etc. (although I did not do anything resembling sleep training until 5.5m) and honestly all it did was stress both of us out. Hope your baby is more manage-able though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lt2-mo-sleep-help#post-1499789 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 20:37:35 +0000 citymouse 1499789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I guess thats what Im worried about, that last long stretch! </p> <p>@MrsH: Oh gosh, that is rough! But awesome that she STTN! Hopefully thats a habit starting!! </p> <p>@matador84: Ill have to look at Moms on Call. Its all so confusing: optimal awake time, optimal nap times, how much day time sleep, how much night time sleep, and on and on! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lt2-mo-sleep-help#post-1499636 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:08:03 +0000 matador84 1499636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The moms on call book really helped me figure out a schedule for my Lo's. At that age, I always fed by 7. I roughly fed at 10, 12,3,6 and tanked the baby up at 9 for the night. There was usually a feed at 12 but LO could stretch to 3-4 am occasionally. In between feeds we did tummy time, played, etc. no naps longer than 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lt2-mo-sleep-help#post-1499632 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:06:52 +0000 MrsH 1499632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it makes you feel better E is 7 weeks old and only had a morning nap and two ten minute naps :( we are trying to do easy but she has not wanted to nap lately. On the pluses side she did STTN the last two nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lt2-mo-sleep-help#post-1499630 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:03:59 +0000 daniellemybelle 1499630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 weeks I was just trying to do a rough EASY. She would eat when she woke up, stay awake about 1 hr, and then sleep. There was no true schedule because sometimes she slept 30 minutes &amp; sometimes 3 hours. At that age we did an evening nap still &amp; a later bedtime. Trying to keep her up longer before bed was disastrous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lt2-mo-sleep-help#post-1499618 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 18:59:59 +0000 citymouse 1499618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have made my head start to spin trying to figure out a good schedule for DS. We are definitely schedule people, especially since I am now dealing with PPA/D.</p> <p>DS:<br /> 6 Weeks Old<br /> Over 9 Lbs.<br /> Formula Fed</p> <p>I was looking at @Mrs. High Heels: post (<a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/09/26/sleep-training-noelle-part-i/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/09/26/sleep-training-noelle-part-i/</a>) about sleep training Noelle, and it looks like that schedule is what we are shooting for, except an additional night feed until he is a bit older. My question though is about the last nap... Does that schedule mean that he should be awake from 4-6:30? Thats way too long right? I've read that at least 4 naps a day at this age is ideal. But have also read about stopping naps at 5 PM so as not to interrupt bed time. How do you get in those 4 naps, stop naps by 5 PM, AND only keep them awake for about 1 hour???? </p> <p>Please help! </p>
