DS1 has just turned 6 months and has never slept through. He's a contented baby but just can't seem to sleep longer than a 4/5 hour stint at night and it's time for CC I think. He only naps for 30 mins at a time during the day so I am tired.......
He's bottle fed and I've managed to wean him off milk after his 10.30 feed. So he's down at 7pm, tends to sleep to about 10.30pm when we feed him again and then he does about 4 hours and after that the fun begins when he's awake every hour. A dream feed don't work for him as such as he always wakes so we tend to just wait until he wakes for his last bottle. But how do I incorporate that into CC? If he knows he gets milk when he wakes at 10.30, will it not confuse him when we start CC later in the night? At the moment when he wakes later, we just settle him with the dummy. It works quite quickly but he still wakes hourly. Any tips appreciated......
