DS is 4.5 months old - has his bath, bottle, then falls asleep in my arms. I then put him in his crib (my room) around 7.30pm.
He used to go down and sleep until he woke needing fed around 1am.
For the past 2/3 weeks - about half an hour after he goes down (he appears 'solid' snoring etc) he wakes. I have to cuddle him to re-settle him, make sure he has his dummy etc.
This maybe happens around every half hour till 10 or 11pm, last night it was 11.30 before he finally went to sleep properly (after a bit of boob comfort).
He wakes to feed between 1-2am so I am not getting a stretch of sleep. I am on my own and so perhaps finding it particularly tough. I'm shattered. Every night I just think I can't do it any more.
The struggle and lack of sleep has led to me becoming inconsistent... Sometimes I just let him sleep curled into me (not comfortable for me at all), sometimes I persevere.
Is this normal? Will it pass? Any tips?
Might buying and putting him into proper cot help now?
