Another story of a WH and an LBS

[newmama]

Basically though I was told, bub has sleep patters of 45mins, if she wakes up feed her then have play time and then put her to bed..a 2-3hr cyle all up. Does that sound about right to you gals?

Well, yes, this is pretty much the deal...what I finally learned with babies, from reading, was that S could only be awake for 2-2.5 hours at a time for many months. So it helped me to determine the source of his crying. (Now it is for 3.5-4.5 hours at a time)

And by 3-4 months, his sleep patterns became like clock work. Woke at 6, nursed, went back to sleep at 8. woke up at 8:45, nursed, played, back to sleep at 11. Woke up at 11:30, nursed, played, back to sleep at 1. etc.
He slept 5x per day! Of course this was just my baby (they are allll different as they say! )

I really had to rely on the clock, personally, to inform me as to whether he was hungry or tired! Thank goodness that I started to figure it out on my own without the clock, but I still use it to help when I am baffled as to why he is fussing!
