Well today was Wayne's first Father's Day! Jamie sent him a card with a pic of him on the front. We went out for Sunday lunch, and after he'd been fed he just would not drop off. His eyes were almost closed and he was almost asleep and then, bam! - eyes open again. I think he gets overtired and then finds it hard to drop off. And maybe it was a bit too noisy and busy in the pub. In the end I took him for a walk in the beer garden and I think the bright light made him close his eyes properly, and within seconds he was asleep on me!
Swaddling works well for us at night, and I have tried it in the day too, but ideally I'd like Jamie to be able to nap in the day without being swaddled. I've read the Gina Ford book and did try and get him to sleep at the times she says, but he won't play ball at the moment! He feeds more often in the day than he should according to her routine, so I think I'll wait til he's a bit older and going longer between feeds before trying it again. It was stressing me out too much trying to get him to feed and sleep according to the clock!
