DS2 (6 mo) is a nightmare sleepwise. Despite my best efforts, he won't have proper naps in his cot in the day, but will sleep on my lap or in the buggy at random intervals.
He goes to sleep at 7/7.30pm and wakes at about midnight for a feed, then cries for a bit when I put him back in the cot before going to sleep again. He then wakes again after a couple of hours crying, but isn't hungry.
We are trying to stop co-sleeping with him as he doesn't settle well in our bed anymore (waking hourly and needing bf to get back off to sleep).
I am so tired my head is in a muddle and I don't know what to try to sort this mess out.
DS1 was such a good sleeper in contrast, he got into his own routine by this age and only woke for feeds before going straight. back to sleep.
Aaaargh, maybe I have (as DH suggested) made "a rod for my own back" by co-sleeping in the first place? I only started co-sleeping because he was so impossible to settle in the first place
