Ike's sleep had not been consolidating well so I reread weisbluth and decided to make a change, ie if he wakes at around 2pm to put him to sleep again at 4pm and wake him up at 5pm and then put him to sleep again at 7pm. Usually I'd try and stretch his awake time to 5ish and let him sleep through the night resulting in him waking up at about 5am too. He also was used to waking up at about 9pm and 1am for a feed.
Last night he went down at 7pm and didn't wake till 5am, then a bit of milk, went back to sleep! me on the other hand... have been awake since 1am waiting for him to get up! hope he does this again tonight. A friend lent me a book called "baby wise" by Gary Ezzo, he combines dr. Weisbluth's sleep methods with an eating and activity schedule, producing babies that will sleep through the night by 7-9 weeks old. Apparently it works, before I could implement it, Ike is hopefully on the path to sleeping through the night.
Here is a picture of nate discovering that bark can be flaked off trees and singing pop goes the weasel to every flake he flicks off.
