DS is 9 months. Ebf as well as 3 good sized mashed meals a day plus a snack. He wakes between 7-8am. He has a bf, then porridge. We play for a bit then he naps between 10-11 (depending what time he's woken up) for two hours. Then lunch, another 3 hours of play then another nap, usually about 1 hour. He wakes about 3-4ish. Then we play, he has dinner at 5ish, a bath about 7ish, books and bf to sleep. There's a few more bfs in the day but not at set times, just on demand. This routine gets him to sleep by about 9pm. He won't go asleep til that time. The trouble is, lately he's been up every 1-2 hours over night. He naps for longer in the day than he has chunks of sleep overnight and I don't understand why. Only boob settles him. Can anyone take a look at our routine and please let me know if I'm doing something wrong? He wakes and is crying, not just fussing. We've given calpol as I thought it was his teeth but doesn't seem to help. He feeds to sleep downstairs while TV is on low and lights off, should I be upstairs in quiet and dark of a night? Try moving bath time etc earlier? I'm scared of him going to bed earlier than me and I miss that first initial chunk of sleep and I have a really awful disturbed night although I'm having those already so I don't know what I'm worried about. He sleeps in a sleepyhead in the chicco next to me side car cot. Thanks for your help
