I am wondering if anyone has experienced this. my 5 and a half month son has never been a good sleeper but since he has started solids he is much worse. I usually take him into the bed around 1 or 2 as it is impossible to settle him into his cot at that stage. he is very agitated at this time of night having been reasonably settled before then albeit waking once or twice. his limbs are flailing during this time and he thrashes around the bed. this could go on for an hour or much longer in the middle of the night. does anyone have experience of weaning causing these kinds of problems. i gave him too much solids to begin with but have pulled back a lot now and so i thought that he would have adjusted at this stage. he is also a terrible napper taking 4 or 5 35 minute naps a day. i find myself longing for the early days when he woke four times a night for a feed and then went back to sleep. Will this pass? Help! he also had a similar reaction when we moved him from a hammock to a cot- took him three weeks to adjust.
