Our baby Hyzyd sleep a lot during his first week — typically 14 to 18 hours a day. I constantly asked my mother if I should wake him up because I want to feed him. I'm worried that he'll be hungry. My parents told me it's normal for newborn. On the following weeks, he's asleep most of the day, and awake most of the night. That's the start of sleepless nights.It's my job to respond to my newborn's cues, so I'm up several times during the night to change, feed, and comfort him.
When he's 2 months old, he sleeps at 12-1:00 AM! I Thank God that my hubby is there to help me. We tried swaddling him and he started to sleep at 9:00 pm and sleeps through the night.He's usually up at 3:30 for his milk.
Now that he's 4 months, we give him a chance to fall asleep on his own. We put him down when he's sleepy but still awake at 7:00 pm. My hubby is against rocking or nursing Hyzyd to sleep. He adapted well this sleeping habit. Not everyone agrees with this strategy, however. Some parents choose to rock or nurse their babies to sleep because they believe it's normal and natural, because they enjoy it and their baby is thriving and sleeping well, or simply because nothing else seems to work
( this is what I believed before).

ReplyDeleteI would seek advise from my mom too. But I eventually let my son sleep if he feels like sleeping. Especially during the first 6 months. Btw, thanks for visiting :D
ReplyDeleteYour son looks adorable even when he's sleeping :) Yung eldest ko sobrang hirap patulugin nung baby, colicky kasi pero itong bunso ko mukang mabait. well, 2 days old pa lang hehehe we'll see :)
ReplyDeletehe is such an angel! i guess all mommies go through the "sleepless nights" phase. just try to savor those days because you will miss them. it's good that you just let your baby sleep on his own. ako, i can't keep myself from rocking, nursing and dancing with my baby sam to put herself to sleep. kaya nasanay cya na dinuduyan ko in my arms. and my arms ache all over afterwards! but it was worth it... hehehe! thanks for the visit sis!
ReplyDeletecute pics but my fave is the one when he's raising his other arm to his head, parang matanda na :)
ReplyDeletebtw, can i add your blog to my list? just let me know. thanks!
