Is there such a thing as 6 month sleep regression? Because all I can say is wtf. He's never been a good sleeper but we've only really just come out of the 4 month regression which lasted about 6 weeks if not more, and his longest stretch of 5-6hours ish from 7pm/8pm-1am had only just returned and its now back to waking every 2 hours and up by 5:30am...last night even worse he woke every hour!!!! I am barely getting any sleep, especially as he's a micro napper only 30 minutes at a time so can't even catch up on sleep in the day, nor will he take a dummy, only wants boob to go back to sleeo, any other method at soothing him he screams crying!

Wow I really could have wrote this myself! However last 2 nights fingers crossed we've only had 1 wake up for a feed at around 1 then up at 5:45/6ish, hes 5.5 months and hoping this is the start of turning a corner, his 4 month regression seemed to last forever then felt like we pretty much went straight into another 😂also a short napper xx

Isn't it just one thing after another?! He's teething badly too. Plus he was 3 weeks early so has always been clingy and also makes it hard to know which leap/regression he's in and when, arghhhhhh

Yes I think teething is the main problem here too but he's on another medication for something else so can't have teething gels!! He can have those powders but I don't think they're helping much to be honest

Is he able to have Nurofen, my little boy has this occasionally when he's having a real bad time of it and seems to work a lot better than calpol x
