He'll typically sleep 10-12 hours at night (waking up once during the night sometimes). Then he'll have 1-2 hours of naps during the day. So, about 12-14 hours of sleep a day. I think the noise machine is a good idea. Hopefully, that will help drown out some of the commotion.

I have a sleep sheep in L's crib that I can crank up quite loud and it drowns out all background noises. My best friend uses a loud box fan for her daughter and another friend I know uses white noise CDs. I hope you can find a solution... baby needs sleep and dangit mommy needs that time while baby sleeps!<br />*hugs*Mazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914742489846963185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-7065720342694720992009-08-20T12:26:01.041-04:002009-08-20T12:26:01.041-04:00Have you read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Ch...Have you read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child"? I hate to be that person! But it really did change my life and Cate's. I used his techniques-a very kind CIO-, got room darkening shades and put her to sleep three times a day at the same time. Period. She goes to sleep on her own now. She'll reach for the crib when we walk into her room. We also use a heartbeat bear-but it is on a timer so that wouldn't work. That book suggests white noise makers-even an old radio on a non-station. <br />Just to give you an 'out' if you want one : ) I am a proponent of CIO (not the stereotyped let baby scream for an hour CIO). Next to food -nothing is more important than sleep to a baby. You know .Cate cried and cried for three days (about 10 mins every-time I put her down) Sometimes now she'll lightly fuss but that's seldom. <br />Ok, seriously someone stop me with all the assvice. <br />No matter what I hope it works out. <br />xoxoxchristina(apronstrings)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11806155985753148490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-11678041522901167072009-08-20T09:17:12.085-04:002009-08-20T09:17:12.085-04:00I agree that I cannot stand when my parents say &q...I agree that I cannot stand when my parents say "oh, well she did not get up until 8 at our house". All I can think then, is that they have gotten her schedule all screwed up, and not she is not going to go to bed when she is supposed to that night. <br /><br />I agree with the white noise or fan.

We have a humidifier that we use -- we just don't fill up the water tank -- and we turn it on high for the noise.<br /><br />As for sleeping, it sounds like MT gets plenty! My sweetpea gets about 14 hours of sleep a day -- down at 7:30 pm and up at 6:30 am; 1 hour nap from 9-10 and then a 2 hour nap from 2-4 -- so about 14 hours total per day. <br /><br />Sleep issues truely suck, and I wish you the best as you try to figure this out!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-85249822792139557812009-08-19T16:23:57.900-04:002009-08-19T16:23:57.900-04:00Yuck.

I agree with the...What a little stinky pants. :o)<br /><br />I agree with the white noise suggestion. Hey, it can't hurt!<br /><br />Josie will hang in her crib (Thankfully!) until we come and get her which is usually around 6:30. She too won't eat right away so she gets some milk. I have found that a 9:00 nap is good and she usually wakes up around 11:00. Then it is more milk and lunch then play until 3:00 or 4:00 then down for another nap until dinner then back down between 8:30 and 9:00. But I can tell you that if Tanner wakes her up, all hell breaks loose in her world and we are messed up, so back to the white noise. :o)<br /><br />Not that any of that helps you, but it is our routine. :o(Jill Ticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571739769307393083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-7658334101299834892009-08-19T14:33:04.905-04:002009-08-19T14:33:04.905-04:00I've been slacking on the commenting, but have...I've been slacking on the commenting, but have you thought about trying a noise machine or even just a fan in his room to block out the noise a bit?
