Whenever Nihar feels sleepy he starts banging his head against my shoulder. At the end he loses his sleep. Has anybody experienced this? Sangeeta replied. Advika rub her eys very badly whenever she feel sleepy... like Nihar starts banging his head ... I think they feel sleepy but they dont want to sleep so they do this to be awake ....

I hold her on my tummy and hold her head in one hand inside facing my tmmy and rock her sing loudly ... hahahah this way now a days she go to sleep ..

but they keep on changing their pattern ...

Rupali replied. Advaya touchwood is very constant in his sleep pattern at night, though he still doesnt sleep at all during day time, which is a different story!

I swaddle him at night and the moment its done, he knows its sleep time. then I feed him for 5-10 min and puff he is fast asleep for the night.
earlier my hubby used to rock him to sleep, but that pattern has changed for the last 1.5 months. now he doesnt like rocking. During day time, I put him on my lap and sing a particular lullaby with slight rocking in a particular fashion...that also works. but his sleep is very shallow during day time..at the max 15-20 min, and then he is playful for the rest of the time. sudha reema replied. sleeping issue is a thing ... touch wood i never faced anything drastic he like bums patted (..sounds kinky)..lolz..
i read that by the time baby turns 3mnths start a bed time routine ...and ensure it happens daily at the same time at teh moment we r trying to bring his sleeping time frm 12 to 11pm then to 10pm...u can too try these
1.keep some sep clothes fr bedtime like night suite or may b a particular type of jumper(dont use these clothes in the daytime) etc and make him wear that atleat 1 hr before he usually sleeps
2.do some activity the same one everyday which will indiacate sleep time like some robust game which will tire him out,some loud singing etc
we play spiderman spiderman... then i singout loud some silly song and he joins me ..put him tummy ( which he always is in)and gently tug him ...sing out some nursery rhyme..etc
3.then slowly rock,pat etc and talk to him ....
4.lastly i feed him lying dwn and as he slowly closes off ..pat his bums...
this will take in some patience ...because its a routine or a habit which u r trying to inculcate Ishi replied. Hi Sup...my son is 2 months old and does the same when he is little cranky, when he starts doing this I put him on my lap instead of shoulder and try to rock him to put him to sleep....this works sometimes, I have to keep trying different strategies to put him to sleep
