No longer STTN
Bah! This SUUUUUCCCKS! He's been waking up twice during the night (at 1 or 2am and then again at 5am) for the past 4 days and sucking on his hand and then he starts whimpering, so of course, I get up and get him and feed him, because I don't want him waking Tom....sure enough Tom tells me this morning that Austin's noises have been waking him up regardless....so back to me letting Austin cry a little for that first wake period...
Re: No longer STTN
I honestly think it's because he has been napping so crappy lately (for the past 2-3 weeks)....I'm of the philosophy of "sleep begets sleep" and if he isn't getting enough day sleep, he won't sleep well at night...
I think part of the problem is actually me. When he rouses from a nap (like we do if we roll over while sleeping), he lets out these little "is anyone out there?" whimpers and I usually go get him....I just ignored the "whimpers" at around 9am....and he fell back asleep and has been sleeping for an hour!!!
I myself as a parent need to learn that if he really wants me, he will really cry and let me know and his "whimpers" will escalate if he is really waking up....which I had not been letting him do...
Yeah...see, I've been running to his every "is anyone out there" cry and I think I have no one to blame but myself for his crappy napping....
Having never been around a baby, I don't know these things!
He does wake at night and suck on his hands, but I don't think I let him fuss enough back to sleep - we currently still have him in our room with us, because we have the a/c in there....so I hear his every move...
