We managed to wean him off his 3.30
bottle with ease and a colleague suggested I used the next size up in nappies
and most nights this has done the trick (either that or his bladder has grown)!
The clocks went forward here a few
weeks ago and we decided to try and keep him on his old routine so he would be
going to bed an hour later and hopefully get up an hour later too! It worked for
a few days and we managed to keep all feeding times an hour later so he is on a
slightly better food routine but it was clear he was getting so tired by the
evening we decided to put him to bed just 15 minutes earlier and this worked
amazingly. He now goes to bed around 7.30/7.45 and gets up around 6. He still
has some milk when he wakes up but we have started weaning him off it and so he
has around 50mls in a sippy cup. He’s doing really well on his new routine and
we are getting a good night’s sleep. Even the nights he doesn’t go all night we
only have to change him or lay him down and he goes back to sleep straight away
so we don’t feel like we have very
disturbed nights.
Naps have gotten even more flexible
but he is so well rested from his night sleep and getting much more active
during the day that it is hard to get a good nap routine going. As he seems
quite adaptable during the day we haven’t worried too much about this. If he
seems tired we put him in his room for a nap. He is napping very little in the
morning now and having a longer kip in the afternoon so I assume he is
preparing to drop the morning sleep and go for just one nap a day but I will
wait and see what happens. If we go out in the car in the morning he normally
has a cat nap and this is usually enough to get him through until he has had his
lunch. If we’re at home he can nap at any time so we just watch for the signs
and pop him in bed when he shows us he’s tired.
