Ds is 6 1/2 months and a bad sleeper. He slept through from 11 weeks but at 19 weeks he had an ear infection which disrupted his sleep pattern. Then he learned to rolll over and constantly wakes himself up. It can take anything from 30 minutes to 2 hours to get him to settle in his cot. He goes to sleep being cuddled but as soon as I put him down he rolls over and wakes up. Between 7 and 9 last night he woke up rolling over 6 times until I went to bed and co slept. He rolls less and sleeps better when we co sleep as I can cradle him to keep him still but that means I get no sleep.
I go back to work in 7 weeks and I have a long commute. I'm really worried about driving after 2/3 hours sleep so I need to find a solution. I've tried rolled up blankets in his cot to stop him rolling, I've read the no cry sleep solution but can't really see what it wants me to do?
We have a routine of story, lullaby, bottle and cuddles. We don't have a bath as he doesn't like them and he gets agitated. Naps ok in the day but generally on ke or in the pram.
Any ideas?I'm dreading going back to work but can't afford to take any more time off.
