I had hoped that by now DS would be sleeping through the night more often than not. Have recently done gradual retreat with him and he now seems to be self settling most of the time (as opposed to the cuddle/rocking to sleep we used to do), but he is still waking in the night and needing me to go in and help him back to sleep with some patting and shhing and dummy inserting, and sometimes we have a couple of hours of crying to boot. He has slept through on a few occasions so I know he can do it.
I thought the self settling was a magic wand to vanquish night waking, but obviously not! I am a single parent and am going back to work full time very soon and am not sure how I'm going to cope feeling this tired all the time .
Perhaps I'm being totally unrealistic in my expectations, and most 11 month olds still wake frequently..?
