Hi, I have a healthy 8 wk old, feeds well, sleeps 5-6 hours in one go at night, bit of reflux but we've raised his mattress up at one end which did the trick.
Over the last week or so he will no longer fall asleep or even lie in his crib or anywhere without screaming - and i mean proper screaming - warp speed 10 kind of crying.
He has alwas cried but only for a reason - food, nappy, wind etc. and does have playful periods (generally in the mornings), but i'm wondering what's changed?
He's getting fewer daytime sleeps as a result - even when he nods off on my shoulder he'll wake as soon as he's put down in his crib. He's averaging 12 hours sleep per 24 hrs and i'm worried this isn't enough.
Anyone had anything similar? Any tips?
