![]() We also use the shh/pat method to help get him to sleep as we didn’t realize how negligent we were with not enforcing good sleeping habits, and not having a good rhythm down. We have his wake time at 8am, and his bed time at 830pm, but my question is this: If he wakes up one morning at 715am like he did the other day, would we still have his first nap around 930am, or do we adjust for the early rise? I would assume if we adjusted, then we would need to adjust the entire day, and I wouldn’t want him to adjust to entirely new set times for wake/sleep. Don't worry, this doesn't go on forever, in fact things changed quite rapidly and I had to adapt my method to cater to his changing needs.We’ve purchased your book on routines and schedules, and are using your 3-6 month routine for our 3 month baby boy. I also discovered that he responded to very firm pats in the center of his back, and the white noise had to be pretty loud - like at hairdryer volume. During those days of sleep training he consistently jolted awake at the 30 minute mark, so I httj and patted his back to try extending (while trying to shield his eyes too) - we were not successful for every nap but at least I tried. I rolled him to his side and used a rolled up towel between the cot and his belly to keep him on is side, and I patted his back for 20 minutes (after all the jolts stopped and he was in deep sleep). When he slowly started closing his eyes I waited for him to have his eyes rolling to the back of his head (no longer opening and closing constantly) before I put him in his cot. But he was also burrowing into my arm/chest too, so I could tell he was trying to fall asleep. At first glance process analytical technology (PAT) would seem to be a term that is easy to define: the integration of analytical technology online or at-line with manufacturing equipment, for the purposes of processes understanding or process control. He cried and arched his back at that point, and this could go on for about some minutes. I then put the white noise on, put a tune on and rocked him (over the shoulder did not work for him as that was the burping position ). When my LO was that age I would start wind down 45-50 mins into A time by taking him to the room, lying on my bed, read, whisper, and hum for 10-15 mins, then as soon as I start swaddling he started to fuss. But it only took 3 tough nights and he had it down. It was tough when we weaned the night feeds, as he really didn't seem to be able to translate that skill of independent sleep from the day into the night. He learned to self soothe for naps even though he was sleeping at the breast at night. I let DS fall asleep at the breast at night for ages. The fundamental is having a shh plus stimulation as Tracy felt this was too much for them to process and to also cry at the same time. So you may have to do a little trial and error to see what suits your LO best. Now he sleeps on his belly so I shh/pat the regular way (finally!) and it works wonderfully. Then that didn't work well and actually just shhing and holding his legs down so he couldn't kick them all over worked for a long time. For instance, my DS hated being on his side so I patted his chest lightly instead for a while. But I would first ask how exactly you are doing it? Usually it takes at least 3 days to see results.Īlso, many moms find that little modifications work for their LOs. Shh/pat isn't for every LO, that's for sure. I am really desperate & am considering giving him the breast so that he falls asleep. If I repeat the process he becomes agitated. How many days does it normally take to work? I wait the full 20 or more minutes before leaving him & often he wakes up before then. ![]() Lately, my son has been getting very agitated every time I put him on my shoulder & start the patting/shushing. ![]() Sometimes it works & sometimes it doesnt. I've started using the shush pat method since yesterday & am not having all that much success. I've been doing the shush pat on my shoulder & then as he becomes drowsy I put him on our bed & continue with it (I figure the crib would be 2 drastic a change for him so I just want to ease him into it). Also, he needs to be physically close to us otherwise he will wake up & start crying. ![]() My husband used to be able to put him to sleep but now we find it very difficult to put him to sleep unless we give him the breast. He has been using my breast as a prop to sleep. I have a 9 wk old son who wont sleep in his crib & so he has been co-sleeping with us. Just wanted to hear about other people's experiences with shush pat method. ![]()
