Baby won’t settle at night.
So baby is a pretty good sleeper. He’s a large baby due to being 9.8 at birth. Now he’s 13 lbs maybe 14 ? He Wakes up every 3-4 hours and will randomly give me a longer stretch sometimes. However it takes hours to convince him to go to bed no matter what I do. Fed, changed and happy. He will fall asleep on his own but wake himself up 20 minutes later. Next I know it’s over and over cause he knocks out his paci from squirming. I work in a few hours and I was starting to get mad at him so I just left the room. He cried for 15 minutes and finally fell asleep. Without his paci. He’s 2 months old so I wasn’t sure it would be a good idea to let him cry it out like that but I can’t be going to bed at 2 when I have to get up at 539 and if he wakes to feed I’m screwed. We tried routines, and he breaks out of his swaddles so we use the age up swaddles. Sound machine, the rocking and even tried to snuggle him up safely with me. But I don’t want to get him used to that cause I stress about safe sleep. And my first born got used to that and I slept like trash the first 3 years of his life cause he was so dependent on me to help him sleep. I don’t want to make that mistake again. Baby sleeps great once he’s actually asleep. Getting asleep. Feels impossible.
