All mixed up

I think Dylan’s time is still mixed up. No matter how much we let him cry, he will not sleep peacefully until it is past 12 mn. And when we are up in the morning he will still be drowsy. I will usually pump in the morning before I go to work. If he is still asleep, I will pump. If he’s awake, I’ll feed and pump the other at the same time. Even with my electric Medela pump with the irritating lawn-mower sound, he will still sleep. If he stirs, he’ll go back to sleep on his own.

When I go downstairs, I will transfer him to the cot downstairs to save my parents the hassle of going upstairs when he cries. And if Bryan sees, us, he will cuddle cuddle his didi before I put him down. And though he will wake, he will fall asleep right back when I put him down at the cot. I have no time to nurse/ cuddle him back to sleep in the morning as it is usually a mad rush.

He will usually sleep peacefully till about noon, waking up just for feed / diaper change.

If only it is this easy at night.

So we gave up the night crying already. It is back to nursing to sleep and co-sleeping. I need my meager beauty sleep. I’ll worry about his sleeping arrangements later when he is a bit older and his time is a bit more settled.

  1. Jaden too had this problem when he was younger. He would be sleeping away most of the day and then he will be wide awake at night.. sometimes even to the extend of falling asleep only at 530am. He just refuses to sleep no matter what. It all changed tho once he reached his 4th 1/2 month stage.
    I always associate his sleeping time to a night light on rather than the bright white light. Then I refuse to play with him or even smile at him when he tries to get my attention. Soon, he gets the message and then will associate the sleeping night light to bedtime.
    Good luck!

  3. Wise move - co-sleeping was the only I could get enough sleep to survive driving from mainland to Penang and getting through the workday!

    By the way, is your bedroom “dark” when it’s night? Babies need help to differentiate between “day” (bright) and “night” (dark). For all my complaints about Lucas, none is about his ability to sleep when it’s night time :-)

  4. my son had the problem too … sleeping during the day and waking up during the night. it happened for about more than 1 week. my aunt from penang told me when washing his cloth, to turn all of it over (terbalik) to hang dry. it was like supersitious thing … but i did it because I couldn’t stand that mixed up. and i don’t know if is coincident or what … his sleeping pattern became much better afterwards.
