My little boy is 4.5months and is waking every 1-1.5hrs for past 5 weeks. I co-sleep ( he won't settle in crib) and breastfeed so always offer him the boob because dont really know what else to do, and he takes it every time so he has about a 10minute feed every hour... When I say every hour I mean from 9pm - 7am. The only time he sleeps longer without waking is in my arms. I know all babies are different and that they are meant to wake frequently but surely he should be having a small stretch of solid sleep? I'm now thinking it's his teeth... But how do you know apart from all signs of usual teething, chewing, drooling,grizzling etc, Can I give him 2.5ml of calpol every night? What if it goes on for another month can you give calpol that regularly? I'm sooooo tired and can't even think straight anymore and just going over and over in my head what it could be - too hot, too Cold, too hungry, not latched right, not enough creamier milk filling him up... I'm going doo-lally!!!!
