Goal: Trying to get LO to go to sleep at bedtime with out a fight.
Routine:
8:45pm - he wakes up on his own from nap in pnp downstairs
9:00pm - bath
9:15pm - BF total of 50 minutes in his room upstairs - lighting is low, music is soft
10:15pm - burp, tummy time, change dipe
10:30pm - swaddle and rock - turned music off and white noise (ocean sounds) on, also turned off light so just had nightlight and twilight turtle
10:45pm - laid him down in pnp in our bedroom where he's been sleeping - within 2 minutes he's crying. Pick him up, hold/soothe, put back down. More crying. Doesn't want pacifier. Rub tummy, get back in bed. Two minutes later he's crying again.
UGH - what am I doing wrong? Does he just hate the pnp? Had same issue after his 1am feeding. After his 6am feeding, I didn't feel like fighting him so just got up and he falls asleep in my arms in less than 10 minutes. Go figure.
Any sleep book recommendations...The No-Cry Sleep Solution perhaps?
Will try again tonight...can't get any worse
