He is wide awake and is blowing raspberries, babbling and squeeling like it's 2 in afternoon. He will not stay in his crib at this time, he screams and cries if I walk out and leave him. Eventually I just take him to my bed where he continues to baby babble for the longest time before eventually falling asleep....Help Hi Dana,

I started giving her bath between 6:30 and 7:00 she would then take a bottle an fall to sleep after the feeding. She then would wake up for her 2nd wind at 10-10:30. It would then take an hour to an hour and a half to get her back to sleep. So, I changed her bathing time to 7-7:30 she then would take her bottle between 9-9:30, fall asleep around 10 and sleep the entire night only waking for her pacifier then get up for her day between 5:30-6. I am going back to work soon and need some help with a schedule. Do I put her to sleep early knowing we will be up when I am ready for bed or what?

Then he is waking up to start the day at 5am! I start our nighttime routine a little before 7 by giving him a bath. He has his last feeding after the bath and then we read a book. That helps wake him up some if he gets drowsy during the feeding. Then I put him in bed wide awake. He is usually fine for about 10 minutes and then starts the fussing and turns to crying and sometimes screaming. I let that go 10 minutes and then go in and try and give him his blanket back. He still doesn't settle down after another 10 minutes so I usually give in and give him his pacifier. Which I am sure this is the first no no. But then he is asleep within 2 minutes. So he is usually sleep by 7:30 at the latest. He then wakes up fussying around midnight and then every hour after that until I give him his night feeding. I try and hold him off until at least 2 am. Then as I said, he is wide awake and ready for the day at 5am and will not go back to sleep. He is in a good mood, never wakes up crying or is crabby. So he seems rested. Even though mom isn't since the longest stretch of sleep would be about 3 hours. And, he does not take naps. He will sleep 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the afternoon. We lay him down wide awake and he does the same thing as when we put him to bed, fine for 10, cryies for 10, cries for 10 more and then we finally give in and give him his pacifier. I have purchased your sleep sense program and have followed everything except giving him the pacifier. I have read three other books and tried the no cry option as well. That doesn't work either. Please, please help a very sleep deprived mom!! Hi,
