Hi everyone, hoping for some words of advice on my first mumsnet posting!
My 9 month old started crawling about 3 weeks ago and since then I've had to reintroduce his 2:30pm bottle feed while all my friends have given it up; not a major problem, but wondering how normal this is.
But most frustrating my son has turned into a nightmare sleeper. He used to sleep 90 mins in the morning, another 90 mins at lunchtime and then from 7pm to 5:30am, then I'd give him a dummy and he'd sleep until around 6:30. His daytime sleeps are becoming more haphazard and getting him to sleep is suddenly becoming a problem. And at night he'll still go down OK, but has started waking at 3:30 ish. Last night, it was 11pm, 2:30am, 4am (when I gave him a dummy) and then he got up around 6:30.
Does anyone have any advice, particularly on the nighttime sleeping, that is as I'm sure you can imagine my biggest headache. Although I'm guessing it's all linked.
Any advice would be welcome, I'm feeling like a tired new mum again!
