Well I have been holding off writing this in case it jinxes things! LOL It seems master Kyan is now sleeping through. He has gone without a feed during the night for nearly a week now. YEAH!
I started off waking him for a feed before I went to bed and he would then sleep through till 5 or 6am. The last two nights I didn't do this and he slept through till about 4am when I gave him a quick cuddle and put him back down, tucked him in and sang him his goodnight song. He protested for about 30secs or so but by the time I was back in bed he was quiet and back on the way to dreamland!
So I have stopped feeding him during the night (YEAH) and he seems to go back down quite well now without a feed. (I tried this a month or two ago but he would not go back to sleep without a lot of work and then would wake up 40mins later still wanting a feed) So this means I will not always have to be the one to get up when he wakes, and Dean and I can take it in turns making it easier for us to get decent sleep... of course, Dean waking up on such occasions is a different story altogether! Ha ha, by the time I wake him up it is easier for me to just get up and do it myself.
Anyway, I digress! It seems the solids (since he has been eating more) have made all the difference with regards to him waking at night so I guess he was just a hungry boy!
Now I am a bit of a dilemma as to whether I should keep waking him at say 9pm for a feed to make him sleep right through or persist with putting him back down at 4am and hope that he works out there is no point in asking for a feed till after 5am as he wont get one... hmmmm'
Either way I am one happy woman and have been in the best mood this week.. I feel ALMOST brand new! Ha ha!
