Woo! I think finn's finally on a schedule! I'm so excited.
I was keeping him up until midnight and then putting him down asleep and he'd wake up between 5-6. Now i'm putting him to bed awake at 9:30 and I can hear him making little noises until he falls asleep on his own around 10 and he gets up around 7-7:30, then he has a bottle and usually goes back to sleep within an hour (i call it his morning nap). That's in his pack n play in our room.
I've been trying to get him to nap in his crib for a long time because I want him to get used to sleeping in there but he would wake up every 5 minutes crying.
Guess where he is right now... Napping in his crib! For the past few days i've gotten him to take his afternoon nap in his crib instead of the swing. I wait until he's drowsy and put him down awake and turn his music on and he sleeps for like 2 hours in there. The only problem is he'll only nap in his crib on his belly which makes me nervous so i'm checking on him every 10 minutes, but he wakes up rested and happy.
So yeah, i'm thrilled! We've got a good feeding/sleeping schedule and I *really* hope it stays like this. I just feel so much more rested now!
