My 14 week old son is getting to be more and more of a handful at bed time (we try and put him down between 6.30 and 7). He'll only fall asleep when nursing and then wakes up about 30 minutes later and has to rocked to sleep in our arms - after crying for about 30 minutes. He used to go back down again in the night after waking to feed around 2am but now we have to rock him to sleep then too. Last night he would only stay asleep next to me and was eating every 2 hours. I know I'm supposed to be putting him down awake but he just wails every time I do that, so unless you think I should be trying controlled crying or CIO, please don't suggest that! Most people seem to think he's still too young for that. Tell me if you think otherwise. Finally, he has reflux. It's been worse lately and his medicine dose has just been upped to reflect his weight. For a while I think that was what was waking him up, but since the dose has been increased I'm not sure why he would still be waking up. Please help!
