My boys have recently gone back to waking a few times in the night.. so last night my DP was away in Sydney - usually that spells disaster for me with the boys sleeping (usually up 3 or 4 times) as i think they know when he is away and think its time to act up.. anyhow i have been trying to get them into a better routine by keeping them up to 7pm. They of course start whingeing around 5.15 or so, so usually DP just says to put them to bed - and they go to sleep straight away, but then are awake at 4am wanting to play.
So last night i gave them a big dinner of solids at 5.20pm (Zucchini followed by pureed pear/apple/banana), then they had a bath and i played with them til 6.45pm, then they got into their PJs and had a 200ml bottle each. They woke at 6.15am - and i did not hear from them all night!! Yay!
I am so going to have to make sure we do it every night and not listen to DP!!
Just thought i would share as i feel great not having to traipse around at 4am..
Just thought i would share..
Also my work just agreed to cut my hours back, so i am now working 3 days a week 8am to 6pm and having THurs & Fri off, starting next week. Yay!
