On the plus side, he only woke up once. But it was for 4 hours. This is the second night in a row and it's horrendous. He wasn't trying to play, he was being upset and wanting to sleep.
He doesn't have any ability to settle himself back to sleep. Most nights he wakes up twice a night for a feed and sometimes he falls asleep drinking his milk or in our arms after. Sometimes he gets very upset and it takes a lot of rocking and shhing to get him to calm down, and more upset when he is in his cot, and a bit more shhing and patting. He tends to buck and cry
We aren't really able to "cry it out" because he needs milk in the night and he gets so upset he vomits. A lot. He has a very sensitive gag reflex I think.
So for a couple of nights he's just not settling back to sleep at all. Not sure if he is in pain? He couldn't even sleep for 1 minute without soothing.
Anyone any ideas? We are beyond tired, we've had a very difficult few months and sleep would really help us all out. Does anyone know of a sleep consultant?
