Hi.
We have a 10 week old boy. He has his last feed at 7pm and goes in his cot awake at 7:30. He self settled by 8pm. Sleeps soundly till 1:30 when we feed him (takes 5oz). That's all good. After that he will fussy every 1 - 1 1/2 hours till we feed him again at 4pm (he only take 1 1/2 - 2 oz at this feed) Again will fussy until 7am when we get him up. We used to give him a dummy and that would sort him out, but it means getting up and putting dummy back in about 8/10 times a night? He's to young to hold a muslin/comforter and is trying to suck his thumb (but not quit there yet)
He has 2 naps in the morning and 1 in the afternoon and he is happy to self settle each nap.
Could you please tell me if you have has the same problem at night. Not sure how to help he settle back to sleep once he's woken? We attempted to let him cry him self back to sleep when he woke after his 1:30pm feed, but he just got him self so worked up I couldn't stand to leave him for more than 15min! Please any advise would by most appreciated.
