hello mumsnet,
My 8 month old is having trouble sleeping at night. He has only 2x 30 min naps in the day (he is like clockwork) around 10.30 and 15.00. He has his last bottle at 18.15 and falls sleep around 18.30. up until 3 weeks ago he slept right through till 7am, but recently keeps waking up sometime to the point where we need to comfort him in our arms until he falls back to sleep, and most of the time we end up getting him into bed with us and i really dont want to continue with him getting into our bed and start bad habits.
do we try the controlled crying method? I go back to work in 1 1/2 weeks and will be getting up at 5.30 so would love to at least keep him settled in his cot till then, as he could then join his daddy in bed :) he is still in our room, but we tried sleeping in the spare room and I was up every 10 mins and then gave in and slept with him in bed on my own.
would love some advice on this as I feel so helpless. have I been spoilt that he was such a great sleeper before hand?
Thanks all xx
