Night feeds
My son is 5months tomorrow, has set his own bedtime to 830 beautifully but still wakes to nurse every 1.5-2hours. Recently he’s been nursing longer. and sleeping closer to the 2 hour Mark. He started purées at dinner last week. That’s when the half hour longer stretch happens. I’ve always fed on demand. (Hey when you’re hungry you’re hungry!) He never opens his eyes while nursing at night. But if I don’t nurse him he screams this wierd deep gurgley cry/scream (haha it really is an ugly sound hahah his normal cries don’t make me anxious, these do) . Until he wakes himself up and then is wide awake. I don’t believe in the cry it out method. But I am having brain surgery soon and would like to help him sleep through the night to help out my SO as he’s not conditioned to wake every hour and a half as I am... can anyone help me?
Here’s some info from his “owlet sock” on his sleep:
(Youlle notice it starts at 10pm, this is because my baby somehow knows when we are on separate floors and will NOT sleep unless we are on the same level lol so he sleeps in his crib downstairs, wakes for a feeding and a diaper change then we put him upstairs with us for the real night time sleep) it’s just what works for us.
