I'm really trying to get LBB into a routine of at least taking a nap longer than 20 minutes each day. LBB has other plans.
Don't get me wrong...he sleeps great at night. All the way through, in fact. And he'll sleep for hours in my arms if I am completely quiet. But the minute there is a noise or he is put down to sleep, he's up within minutes.
My mom says let him cry it out. And I really do want him to start being able to sleep during the day like most babies do...however, hearing him cry is torture. I am getting better, but LBB has now discovered that since crying doesn't get him picked up all the time, he is going to start screaming.
Yes, you read that right. Screaming at the top of his lungs screaming. I didn't think an almost 3 month old could scream that loud. But he does. And it's not like there is anything wrong...he'll have been fed, changed, swaddled, burped, and all that good bedtime stuff. He'll fall sound asleep in my arms. But the moment his head touches the crib mattress...he starts to stir.
I'm exasperated and worn out. He's cranky and worn out. And while I know this is all a short passing phase (I hope) I want to make sure that I am helping him to learn how to sleep properly and all that stuff.
*sigh*
Any suggestions?
