Hi
So my DS is 5 months old and he sleeps well at night, going to bed at 8pm, waking around 4am for a feed then sleeping until around 7am. I do have some issues though.
When it comes to napping, he sleeps on me. I have put him down in his cot in the past but since the sleep regression he will wake up in about half an hour then be grumpy. I feel like I'm failing him because I'm almost too scared to put him down and him wake up too early.
I also rock him and feed him to sleep. I know these are bad sleep associations but it's the only way I can get him off!
He is teething at the moment, so that makes it harder. When he wakes from a nap he will not go back to sleep.
Also, he will always wake up at 5am and he will only go back to sleep if he cosleeps with me for the last 2 hours.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to curb these habits? I don't mind any of it tbh but I know it's better for him in the long run to not rely on any of this.
Thankyou
