Ours is only 2.5 months. I was told not to even bother trying a routine till 4 months ish.
@TinyBreak @stardustingss agree, it's way too early for routine.
Have you tried swaddling? My daughter was great in a swaddle up until about 4 months when she started rolling and had to change everything. I found a great swaddling technique on YouTube that was inescapable and she settled down real well with that (she was a bit of a Houdini even quite early).
He HATES a swaddle. Loves to throw his arms around in his sleep. Remove his ability to do so and he cracks it. But good tip.
@TinyBreak bugger! good luck, I hope you find a solution.
Yeah that young I think you basically have to roll with it. Their bed times do eventually shift earlier! Basically you want to get on the other side of the 4 month regression then see what you’re dealing with.
thank god. Apparently he should be sleeping like 13-15 hours or something, I reckon we'd be lucky to get 8 or 9.
Mine had a phase of not going to sleep until 1am for a while then randomly just switched to 9-10pm. Then gradually kept moving back and now he goes to bed at 7.30!
The sleep hour numbers can drive you crazy. Like a few months ago we were told he wasn’t getting enough day sleep so I worked super hard to increase it. Now he sleeps too much 🙃
