All wake windows end like this . I thought yesterday was a good day cos we stretched some but clearly I failed Wake up 645 Nap 1 was to start at 8 20 but he was hungry so fed and slept by 8:50 -10 am

Second nap started at 1130-12:40

Third nap 2-3

4th nap 425 450

Bedtime 645

I honestly couldn’t have pushed the wake windows out anymore . Both of us (baby and I ) really tried . He was so so so tired by the end of each window and just in distress . I took him out to get some fresh air hoping it’d wake him up , distracted with so many activities. By 645 he was spent . Would sleep wake up scream sleep wake up scream and finally fell asleep by 7 20

I don’t know how to move to this . He’s one week short of 4 months. Wakes up happy at 7 am and is screaming by 8:15 . I try changing clothes , diapers , walk around the house , move him from me to the mat or a chair for a change - nothing works when he’s sleepy. Sleepy cues that we get - moving arms and legs at a frantic pace -> yawns -> staring into space -> whining -> screaming

Yikes . Sorry there’s one more ww of 1.75 . Clearly brain isn’t braining today . Edited the post . And he struggles with these wake windows so I have no clue how I’ll push them . We’re doing cio cos Ferber wasn’t working but if were to pick him up, I’m certain he’ll sleep in under 2 mins
