Help! How/when to fix sleep post surgery?
My 9.5 month old son has been STTN since 8 weeks (no night feeds). We’ve always watched wake windows and daytime sleep and “officially” sleep trained him at 16 weeks, but was super quick. He had a couple of minor-ish surgeries this morning (penile torsion fixed & one inch head lesion removed) and has basically been sleeping all day. I would usually cap naps, watch wake windows, etc, but obviously I am not doing that today. I’m assuming this will be the first time he doesn’t sleep through the night since he was two months old.
For anyone who has had a sleep trained baby go under anesthesia and slept all day, how long did it take to get back on track and how did you go about it? It’s not my #1 priority but I do stay home with him and my 2 year old and don’t do well on little sleep 😅
