I posted a few days ago but got no replies, I guess it was a bit long... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/sleep/1675992-Moving-house-and-sleep-gone-to-pot
Anyway, DS is 19mo and has gone from sleeping through 12 hours to waking hysterical in the night for up to 2 hours, then waking for the day around 5.30. Sometimes 4.30. We have just moved house but he has always been totally fine on holiday. I did spend a lot of time apart from him during the packing stage so he's been clingy too.
He has gone from being so happy and lively to utterly miserable all of the time, He wakes crying, is sleepy by 10am and looks ill - red, puffy eyes and looks pale. Hes always grizzly and is having tantrums, and being quite difficult generally.
He is napping ok, between 1.5-2 hrs (before the move, 1hr15-1hr30 was normal)
So I feel I can't do CC as we are still in a new environment. Problem is, if I go to him in the night he cries more and wants to BF (we night weaned about 6 months ago) If DH goes in, he will try and go back to sleep, but DH started new job today so is only fair I do nights for the time being. Last night he cried in my arms for nearly 2 hours until DH came in and took over :(
Any tips? He is so shattered I am contemplating v v early bedtime, but am terrified he'll then start the day at 3am or something. At the moment he is in bed by 630, asleep by 7.
Am ill myself and dreading the next move in 3 weeks time (to our new permanent home)
