Hello,
I have a 5 mo ds and would like to get him into a better routine as I will be going back to work in may.
He is bottle fed currently on 8oz every 4 ish hours.
He has his own routine which is going to bed around 12am and wakes at 11ish. He usually wakes around 2 times in the night and I try to give him a bottle but doesn't really drink it maybe about 1-2 oz if that but sometimes he will drink it all and go back down lovely.
Obviously going to bed about 12am is pretty late! And we are nakered and would love to get him into bed way earlier ad waking up earlier in the morning.
The last few nights we've tried to put him down at 10-10:30 but he's been waking up to 5 times! I think it's mainly for comfort although he will take some of his bottles.
How will I get him into a better routine? I really don't know where to start. If I try to keep him awake longer so he doesn't have his naps so early he gets so grumpy. He also seems to sleep better in our bed which we don't really want to make a habit out of.
Shall we put him into his own room now?
Any suggestions and experiences will be much appreciated
