Hi I'm after some advice please, my baby is 6 mths old now & we are both desperate for sleep!
He's never been a good sleeper, so I took him to a cranial osteopath, who said she could feel a blockage in his neck & she says it's now cleared, & that his night time wakings is now a habit. So we've done CIO & he is now quite good at going to bed & staying asleep, til midnight-ish - then after that it all goes tits up again!
He seems to wake every 20-90 mins! He's always done this head shaky thing, & sort of arching his back, but generally fidgeting - constantly!!
I offer dummy and/or milk & that seems to sooth him, & then 20 mins later he's at it again. I've tried ignoring him but he just gets worked up & cries, I've lifted him up to wind him - no wind, although he is quite farty during the night!
He & I are knackered the next day! He generally sleeps ok during the day, sometimes after a struggle he gets to sleep, or if in car seat on school run. But be doesn't sleep for very long during the day either!
He's my 4th child & im at my wits end, I dunno what is up with, but definitely not right as he's now old enough to be sleeping longer!
If anyone can give me advice, that would be much appreciated!
