I prob ought to post this in sleep. But as the thread os frequented by people like me (who don't have brilliant sleepers!) I am hoping that it might be better here.
My DS is ten weeks. In the last week his nightime sleeping has gone haywire and I'm feeling quite demoralised as I thought we were making progress. Looked something like this:
Bed between 7-8
Dreamfeed at about 10:30pm
Wake up at 4:30am for feed
Another feed at about 6:30am
Up for the day about 8am
I was loving it and on Sat night he even slept from 11-7 .
We then moved him in to his cot on Sunday and it's all gone to pot. He's been waking up every 2-3 hours. He seemed unable to resettle in the cot, so I've ordered dividers etc from amazon and put him back in moses basket last night as he had jabs yesterday (so was expecting last night to be crap, and it was).
I am bf him and give a ff top up for the df. In the daytime I feed on demand and he'll go anything from 2.5-4 hours between feeds. For the most part, I am having to offer him boob as I am always focused on trying to get as much food in him as poss so he'll (hopefully) sleep at night.
He naps ok in the day, so long as we're at home. Split between one big one and usually a couple of smaller ones, he'll have about 4 hours sleep between waking and going back to bed. When out he'll only ever have short naps (40 mins) in his buggy.
Can anyone offer any words of wisdom on how to get him sleeping better at night again? And what do other people experience with their 10 week old LOs?
Oh, he weighs about 14lbs and is up ont he 75th percentile - so I know he's big enough to be sleeper better than he is at night.
Thanks in advance! x
