Yesterday was Day 4 of weaning. (Refer to previous posts for Days 1-3 of pacifier weaning). Prior to putting my son to bed, I collected all of his pacifiers that had the tips cut off and cut a bit more off. I placed 5 pacifiers in his crib for night time sleep.
After his bedtime routine, my son went to sleep quietly. He woke up at 5:50am and began talking in his crib. This was unusual, but he sounded very calm and cute. He was in no way upset. He fell back to sleep after 15 minutes and woke up at 6:30am, which is his usual wake up time.
The naps were very different this time. When I tucked my son into his crib for his morning nap, he gestured with his arms and said "up". He's never actually done that before. I gently reminded him that it was nap time and he stopped gesturing up, but took a pacifier in his hand and then quickly threw it down. After I left his room, he cried for 30 minutes on and off before falling asleep and only napped for 15 minutes. It was the same for his afternoon nap; it took him 30 minutes to get to sleep and napped for only 30 minutes. This was obviously out of the ordinary since his naps tend to be at least an hour long.
More updates on Day 5 tomorrow…
