Perhaps I should have mentioned this in the previous post, but Ryan spent his first three months sleeping in a pack-n-play. First, in our room and then around 2 months, we moved the pack-n-play to just outside our door.
When you have to feed a baby every two-three hours, it really is just easier to have him sleeping the room with you, especially when the only other bedroom is downstairs. Stairs that have to be gated off to keep the crazy, hungry cat out during the night.
So, anyway, this is where Ryan has been sleeping. Up until I finally just decided that he's learning to sleep in the crib, right meow.
So, last night, I had a very tired baby on my hands. He took a nap from 6:30 to 7:30 and then went to SLEEP sleep at 8:30. At 9, I put him in the crib and he slept until 11:30. I thought he was hungry, so I put the nook is his mouth and went to make him a bottle. When I came back, he had FALLEN BACK ASLEEP. So, I slowly backed out of his room, put the bottle in the fridge and went back upstairs. He didn't wake up until 4:30. Then, he ate a bunch and went back to sleep until I accidentally got him up at 6:30. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I can just leave him in the crib, because it's Jake day to watch him.
All the crazy crying: My vote is sleep deprivation. Mom had him sleeping a TON today and she brought him back at 4:30 and he only stayed awake long enough to smile at me a bit and eat 4 ounces. So, he's been napping for about a 1/2 hour now. Which is fine. He'll get up, we'll change him, feed him, burp him and put him back to bed. It will be amazing. I hope.
Now, we just have to get Jake to attempt to put him down every 2 hours, whether it looks like he needs to or not. I hope Jake gets it tomorrow. I think that my mom has finally understood what I have been reading about. Now, we just need to get Jake. :)
I'll keep updating as we go. :)
