sabine i thought about a room AC but then i thought well he''s going to have to get used to the heat in the house anyway since the rest of the house doesnt have AC. also his room is the coolest probably of all the rooms...it gets good air flow. and it cools down within about 3 hours after the sun goes down so it''s really just getting him used to being either unswaddled or sleep sacked, and the hot weather has just made us get to that point faster you know?
thing is he seems to like the heat. his room has always been 73 at night as he seems to prefer that. when i let hte house get colder in winter he''d wake up more...and he loves to sleep with blanket on him even when house is warm! it was 77 in house yesterday and he wanted a blanket over him for naps. he gets all sweaty but he just seems to like it.
that whole 68 is ideal temp thing makes me nuts because *i* am freezing at 68 degrees!! so if he is anything like me he''d be cold and cranky hehe.
so last nite he slept fine til 5am with one arm out. he worked himself up to the edge of the crib and was snuggled into the breathable bumper. his arm was cold. so at 5am i tucked it in and gave him paci and moved him back to center. he woke up at 5:30 as paci fell out. he got both his arms out and was working on the legs. i let him cry til 6am at which point he was kind of moaning punctuated with PO''d screams. finally i got up (not like i am sleeping either !) and went in and he has totally turned himself 180 degrees and was in the corner, so he was totally PO''d. i moved him back, unswaddled him as he only had the belly on at that point and gave him his snuggly blanket at paci. he slept til 7:30. then he pounded 8oz. so he was prob hungry at 5:30, poor kid.
his habits are still good from a sleep perspective, i just am having a hard time adjusting to being back to work and him having sleep blips at the same time. so i figure lets work on the swaddle thing now so that we can all be happier in hopefully a few weeks.
random Q but those moms who use sleep sacks, do your LO''s arms gets cold? J seems to get cold limbs when they are exposed but again we are coming up on summer.
kim yeah we started on naps maybe 1.5 months ago? and it took him a while to get it and sleep longer but now he can go 2-3 hours for naps sometimes without swaddle. its really the night wakings where he doesn''t know how to put himself back to sleep yet without swaddle and totally FREE.
sabine so cute on jacks crawling through holes... i love that idea!!! sorry he''s fussy, maybe a tooth?
anyway think i''ll stick with one arm out for now and see. it is cooling off so i just hope the arm doesnt get cold.
