Routine's more or less there and sleep training's more or less there too. For the past 2 days, he has been taking longer naps... still some crying and whimpering during the naps, but it's more for settling to sleep at the start of sleep cycles. I think he has more or less learnt how to get back to sleep after exiting from one sleep cycle :), hoping he will just get better at it.
Slept through for the first time last night. Last feed at 1130pm, first feed this morning at 710am. There was some crying and whimpering at 530am which lasted for slightly more than half and hour, but I sort of knew that he was not crying for milk. He did eventually settle back to sleep I believe and woke up in the morning for his usual first feed.
Now I am hoping he is really going to consistently sleep through the night, cos I have been feeling so tired this week. I think I have reached my limit for lack of continuous sleep at night. I feel like zombie every morning and I can hardly play with Candra. It does not help that there usually isn't time for me to take a proper nap in the morning. Oh...I really hope he is sleeping through already. Since he did not make it at the usual 7-9weeks like his sister, I am really hoping he makes it between 10-12weeks.
Feels like all the hard work's just worth it. He is playing much better now during his waketime. Less fussiness cos he is well-rested from the naps and less crying throughout the day in general. He is starting to smile quite a bit and he makes cooing sounds :p I have been waiting so long for this day....... this boy's training process was really tough I must say.
His routine now looks like this:
715am - feeding then waketime
815am - nap 1
1050am -feeding then waketime
12pm - nap 2
245pm - feeding then waketime
350pm - nap 3
6pm - feeding then waketime
715pm - nap 4
8pm - waketime
9pm - feeding and bedtime
1130pm - dreamfeed
