*We always do his nap or bedtime routine before putting him in the crib – bath (every other night, only before bed), jammies/lotion/fresh diaper, nursing, books, and songs/a little rocking.
Nap 1 (33 minutes)
10m timer, soothed
10m timer, soothed on own at 6m and was asleep at 8m
Slept for 33m
Set a 5m timer when he started to cry
Was calm for about a minute right at 5m then started screaming again so I went in to soothe, calmed immediately but cried as soon as I left
Set another 5m timer, cried on and off
Nap 2 (40 minutes)
Put in crib at 11:39am and set 10m timer
Soothed and fell asleep at 11:50am (YAY!)
Woke at 12:30pm (40 minute nap)
Nap 3 (38 minutes)
Put in crib at 2:14pm and set 10m timer
Soothed and set a 15m timer
Soothed himself before we needed to go in after 10m (again, YAY!) and fell asleep at 2:35pm
Woke at 3:13pm and set timer to see if he would soothe on his own after crying for a few minutes
No luck – 38 minute nap
Nap 4 (20 minutes)
Put in crib at 4:45pm and set 10m timer (we usually have to set the timer right away because he cries as soon as we leave the room)
Soothed and set another 10m timer
Soothed and set another 10m timer
Wouldn’t calm down so picked up and held for a 20m nap, then tried to put back in the crib but woke up crying right away so just called it over – ugh
Nighttime
*We also started using the Nested Bean swaddle tonight.
Put in crib at 7:02
Set timer for 10m
Never needed to soothe, was asleep in 6 minutes. What?!
Slept until about 10:40pm when Chris gave him a bottle
Slept AGAIN until about 3:00am when I nursed him
Then again until 5:30am when I nursed him
Woke up for the day at 7:20am!
SO WONDERFUL.
Total cry time: 88 minutes
Total awake (happy) time: 7 hours, 57 minutes
Total sleep time: 14 hours, 35 minutes (broken for feedings)
