We seem to finally be a a GOOD sleeping schedule. I mean, I thought we were doing pretty well, BUT our beloved babysitter brought a book called "The Sleep Solution" and we have learned ALOT ALOT ALOT! First, (duh) it is possible for them to nap at the same time!... I think before because we had them on such different feeding schedules, they napped opposite. They also woke up every day between 5 and 6 am..UGH... So the book is based on a pretty set schedule and only letting them nap 2 naps during the day. The first being 1 hour, the second 2 hours. I was surprised at how it works. The hardest part is keeping Noah awake between the last 2 feedings, but he is the one whose schedule is really being changed..
SO step ONE, get them eating 30min apart. This actually is helping Mr. Noah with his eating, we have taken him down to 4x daily, and spread them out a bit, so he has more of a chance to get hungry. Nater-Tater was already on the 4x daily schedule. WOOT.
Here is our schedule, thus far..
7am- up and at em.
7:30-8 They each get a bottle/tube fed if Noah is particularly stubborn
8:30 Dinosaur Train ( a PBS favorite)
9am- Yummy solid food time
10-11 Naps!!! We usually read books on floor in nursery, snuggle with mommy til sleepy..
1130-12 Bottle
1-2 Play time
2-4 Nap #2
4-430 Bottles
5-6 Play time!
6pm, Yummy solids, again
7-8 bathtime, and 4th bottle. Then snuggle, sleepy music and NIGHT NIGHT!!!
