He goes down between 8.30 and 9.30pm, depending on how long it takes me to settle him (often he wakes a few mins after he's fallen asleep, and this can happen multiple times). Then he usually does a 3- or even 4-hour stretch, followed by waking every 1-2 hours until about 8-8.30am (he's probably ready to get up a bit earlier than that, but I'm not, so I feed him back to sleep ).
Does this sound usual for his age? I'm worried about a) feeding him to sleep each time, but he howls if I don't and while I can grit my teeth and try to rock him to sleep at the start of the night, I can't be doing that on an hourly basis from 1am to 8am! I'm also wondering b) about whether I can/should try and lengthen the very short stretches after the first (relatively) long sleep - or is that unrealistic at this point? I feel so clueless!
