My DS is nearly 11 months old and isa very poor sleeper.
He goes in his cot at 7pm ish after a bedtrime routine and bottle. I put him in half awake and he cries to settle himself.
he then wakes up around 10, 1 and then 5 and 6ish. I have tried letting him cry but it is very wearing (we have DD of school age) on the rest of us! If i pick him up and give a quick cuddle, then he can sometimes get back to sleep!
The 5am waking is the worst as I end up putting him on our bed just so I can get some sleep - not the best, but..... It is then when he gets his head as close to me as possible and then roughs my hair, pulls my ears and scrtaches me. If I move away he hands wander until he finds my face!!! (I can see a future with the ladies!!).
He does settle for at least another hour, but how can I get him to stay in his own cot for longer! I always check if cold, or soggy nappy - cant be hungry as is fully weaned......so any suggestions, ideas!!
