Sleep training

[vain_kixie]

My baby is very friendly. Smiles at everybody. Hindi mana sa nanay na masungit. He has a very happy disposition maybe because ganun lang talaga siya or because he gets the sleep that he needs.

I highly recommend that you put your child on a routine of eat- play- sleep. Kahit wala ng strict schedule but i routine will really help a baby. Yung cousin kasi ng anak ko na walang routine, super iyakin compared to him, super bugnutin.

kami maaga kami ng sleep train ni baby, kaso ngayon ang problem since super nasanay sya sa routine nya nung newborn palang eh hirap na namin patulugain ng medyo late. hehe! as early as 5PM e tulog na tulog na sya. 

Ito pattern nya: she's 10months old.

4 AMor 5AM - wake up time
5AM - 8AM - play time muna (while hintay nila ako from work; i work at night kasi)
8AM - 9AM - breakfast (medyo matagal sya kumain, and sinasabiayan ko na sya)
9AM - ligo time
9:30AM - 11AM - playtime, tiny tot study time
11AM - 1PM - siesta
1PM - lunch time then mga 30 mins lang sya nakain
1:30PM - 5PM (kasama na dito lunch time nya and play time and bath time/)
5PM - sleeping time

Yes, 5PM palang tulog na sya, gising na nya nun e the next day na mga 4am or 5am. Tinatry namin sya puyatin minsan yung tipong mga 8PM, pero di nya kaya, kusa na sya matutulog. or usually pag patak ng 3PM palang cranky na sya gusto na nya umakyat ng kwarto and dun nalang mag play. then pag 5PM na. sleep na sya.
Nagigising nalang sya for feeding, pero di naman naiyak. ang hirap lang dito, di man lang kami makapag dinner sa labas, or makapamasyal ng hapon kasi tulog na sya agad. hehe!

You're down to 1 nap a day nalang at 10 months.. did you stop offering a second nap or talagang ayaw na ni baby matulog ng isa pang nap? may nabasa kasi ako na better daw to keep 2 naps till 15 months old. Pero iba iba naman kasi ang babies. Yung iba they naturally drop to 1 nap at a year old.

If you want to make her sleep beyond 5am offer her a second nap. Make her first nap earlier para masingit mo yung second nap about 3-4 hours before your desired bedtime for her.

Here's my son's schedule at 10 months

7am- wake up/nurse
8- breastfast then play
10- 12 nap
12- wake up/ nurse
1pm- lunch then play
3- 430- nap
430- wake up/ nurse then snack
5pm- play
6pm-dinner
7pm- bath time routine. (Bath, massage, read book)
8/830- bedtime

Although i deviated from this routine from time to time i make it a point na by 9pm asa bahay na kami and nasa crib na baby ko. Sometimes i wish i trained him to be more flexible? Like he cant co-sleep. He cant sleep anywhere but his crib. He cant nap longer than 30 minutes if he was in his stroller/carrier/car seat compared to his 1.5- 2hr nap pag asa crib siya sa room niya. Kasalan ko din kasi sinanay ko siya sa ganun (to sleep alone etc). Pero ang maganda lang sa sleep training you dont have to rock/dance/pat/aid them to sleep. Baba ko lang siya sa crib niya after kissing him goodnight and siya na mag iikot ikot hanap ng pwesto then he dozes off.

Ang weird, kanina, nag nap sya ng 2-4PM. I thought mag sleep sya ng later, pagpatak ng 530, inaantok na agad. 

Whenever hubby tries to give her her 2nd nap, still the same eh. siguro ganito na talaga ang sleep pattern nya.

Ang lo ko kusa nang sumasabay samin ni hubby kapag bedtime usually we sleep 10 to 11pm medyo late na din, kasi gabi nadin umuuwi si hubby. And gusto ko kasi may playtime sila ng daddy niya before bedtime. Kapag nagside lying na kami ni lo, automatic tulog na din siya maya maya. Since his 4th month, umiiyak (actually di naman talaga super iyak) si lo kapag gutom hindi na siya nagpapakarga and laking tulong na din samin yun. Kaya labas boobies nalang tapos back to sleep na kami hehe. Siguro I nurse him 1 to 2 times nalang sa madaling araw.

Going 5 months si lo, he has 3 naps in a day. Minsan 4 pa pero okay na din kasi natutulog kami ng mejo late naman.

^ganyan din kami sis. tuwang tuwa nga lang siya pag asa kama na kaming tatlo kaya medyo nakikilaro pa before antukin. problema ko sa gabi pagiihi ako iiyak yan na parang sinasaktan so kailangan ko pa gisingin si hubby at kakargahin niya muna si baby bago ako makacr! huhu

Sa totoo lang mas okay ang quality ng sleep ng baby when he sleeps alone. Pati ako mas okay ang sleep ko kasi walang ikot ng ikot (magulo matulog anak ko). Straight ang nap niya and nightime sleep kasi hindi distrupted ng noise and other people's movement. Yun nga lang nakaka miss ang bonding ng co sleeping. Also pag travelling, at least sanay na siya na same bed kayo. Problem ko nga yan kasi we'll be travelling eh wala atang crib sa hotel i booked so we have to co sleep.

^^ maganda yung nabili ni MIL na kama, yung hindi mayugyog kahit anong gawin mo. kaya nakakatayo ako kahit natutulog si lo. actually kahit mag sexy time kami ni hubby dun hindi magigising si lo heheh. saka si lo kasi hindi madaling magising (nagmana ata sakin), hindi ko kasi siya sinanay sa tahimik na lugar, yung tipong nakakatulog pa din siya kahit bukas ang tv at ilaw. mukang nakabuti naman sa kanya.
