So now we've got a really comfortable system down; we give Odin a nice meal of baby food mixed with rice cereal so it's filling and he gets the iron in the rice cereal. That fills him up and gets him messy, so we all take a calming bath, and them we sometimes give him a massage if he's in the right mood. Then he plays for a little bit if he's still awake and we sit on the floor with him. When he starts to lose steam, around 9 to 10ish, but sometimes as late as 11 depending, we put him down and he's lowered his average crying time to about 20-30 minutes. He maybe wakes up once during the night but he's asleep again after 20 minutes, and he gets up at 7 or 8 and comes into bed to cuddle and nap for another hour with a morning nursing.
It's working out great; he's learning to sleep, and we get some rest as well, and it's perfectly timed for our school schedule.
