Takingcarababies - getting baby back to sleep after night feeding
Hey all! I have a 6 week old and I’ve loved this program so far for my newborn. I’m just wondering others experience after a night feeding. Baby boy is great at putting himself to sleep for naps and bedtime. However I’m struggling with getting him back to sleep after his night feeding (he went to bed at 930 and woke for his feed at 4am). He will just lay in his crib squirming and fussing (fusses like he’s pissed off but not really a definition of crying). Then he’ll calm after a few minutes and start to doze. Then back to fussing and squirming. Then before I know it It’s been an hour. My question is should I intervene with SITBACK? Or just let him fuss since It’s not a “true cry”?
What do you consider a “true cry” before intervening?
Night feedings have been a struggle for us (which I’m happy for this class since I’ve been able to limit them) since it takes him so long to fall back asleep after. It’s almost like he has to get through a wake window before falling back asleep. Rather than just falling back asleep right after his feeding.
Idk I’m just really trying here 😅 (yes I keep it dark, white noise, very low stimulation) I just don’t know what to do about getting him back to sleep!
