sidney used to wake up several times a nite. it wasnt becoz he has an early bedtime coz we have tried adjusting the bedtime but the fine tuning had no effect on him.
we then attributed it to teething. on nites that get really bad, he can be up every hour or so n needs to be patted in the cot before he can get back to sleep. and sometimes he gets wide awake, n that isnt rare, n we have to carry him n pat him for an hour or so.
before the sleep training, he was always carried n patted to sleep, so he would take, i say abt 5 min or so when its his naptime or bedtime.
u may wish to try to sleep train him loh. the problem is tat they duno how to go to sleep themselves, i think, or so the books say. sidney struggles to go to sleep. he would be whining n screaming at times, but we're sittin beside him right after his bedtime stories, so we're now putting aside the worries. he's fine in the cot, n we keep telling ourselves that.
like i mentioned earlier, he took an hour the 1st nite, n just now when i sent him off to his afternoon nap, he took solely 10min. its all trial n error loh. so i mean, if u're really sleep deprived, just try for a few nights, it might work for u.
anyway its a sooner or later thing. my boy is more than 10kg, so u can imagine why we turned to this. josh will be 10kg in no time, u may wanna start early.
