Since Kai started teething in February, he's been getting up every 1-2 hours at night, which makes for a pretty sleepy mama. Just recently thanks to a facebook group, a book called "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" was recommended to me. I have to say it was the first book on sleep that I have actually felt a jive with. I am keeping a Sleep Log every 10ish days, and I thought I would share our progress via my bloggy blog. We are co-sleepers, and I'd love to keep it that way, but I know that if after a few months of training neither one of us are sleeping better, I'll have to figure out a way for Kai to move to a crib :( Here's hoping I get to stay with my little man!
So here is my Sleep Log before I implemented some of the advice from NCSS:
Naps:
9:35am- 26 minutes11:30am- 32 minutes
1:52pm- 32 minutes
3 Naps, 1 1/2 hours
Ideal: 2 Naps, 3-4 hoursNight:
Fell Asleep at 6:20pm
woke at:
7:00pm up 10 min
8:04pm up 29 min
9:40pm up 10 min
12:09am up 6 min
1:47am up 6 min
3:06am up 9 min
5:00am up 45 min
6:35am Up for the day.
Up 7 times, longest sleep stretch: 2 hours 19 min, 9 1/2 hours total sleep
Ideal: Up 1-3 times, 10-11 hours
Total sleep: 11 hours
Ideal sleep: 14-15 hours
Next is my log 10 days later after implementing a few small changes in routine:
Naps:
10:05am- 1 hour 35 min
2:00pm- 40 min
2 Naps, 1 hour 45 min
Ideal: 2 Naps, 3-4 hours
Night:
Fell Asleep at 6:10pm
Woke at:
8:03pm up 5 min
9:02pm up 45 min
12:06am up 14 min
1:12am up 9 min
3:09am up 8 min
4:17am up 13 min
6:20am Up for the day
Up 6 times, longest sleep stretch: 2 hours 19 min, 10 hours 50 min total sleep
Ideal: Up 1-3times, 10-11 hours
Total sleep: 13 hours
Ideal sleep: 14-15 hours~So, yes this is what I have been doing on my nights the past few months. How does your baby sleep? What did you do, or change to improve sleep habits with your family?
Stay tuned for further improvement (hopefully)!
