Can not get Jacob back on schedule, he isn't sleeping enough for nap's, wake's up rubbing his eye's & cranky still, not sleeping well at night. It's a never ending cycle, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I am so tired, as soon as I make DD lunch I'm off to bed, it's 8:45 ! I fell asleep around 8 tucking her in & forced myself up !
Before I tried to have him fall asleep on his own, he had a bottle & was drinking it with his eye's shut, as soon as he finished it he opened his eye's & sat up. I put him in the pack n play & he cried / screamed for a while. My DH went in to try to comfort him, never works then gave him some water in a bottle, as he lay in the pack n play, well that worked a few sips then he turned his head & was asleep, it was the sucking I think. I WISH he sucked his thumb or took a pacifier I really think he still can't soothe himself. So to me in a way it was a mistake because we interfered so how will he ever learn to soothe himself to sleep.
I am worried about his health, it's not good being so tired all the time !
