Hi everyone. This is my first post on here and not sure where else to turn.
I am desperate for sleep.
My 11 month old has always slept terribly (unless being held/on my chest when tiny)
. He is breastfed and has always fed to sleep. He wakes up every hour most nights. Sometimes 20mins after he is put down, he is awake. Sometimes he is awake for over an hour in the night.
Up until a few weeks ago he was still being fed to sleep at every wake just because it was the easiest thing to do. But for the past few weeks I have only fed him once in the night (around 1am) and every other wake up me or my husband rock/sing him back to sleep.
We have a great bedtime routine, 6.30pm every night he has his bath and then into pjs, feed and usually asleep in cot by 7pm. However every night is just exhausting. The longest he has ever slept for is 3 hours in a row.
He is also an awful napper. 45mins-1hr at most twice a day. Sometimes 20mins.
He will not take a bottle or a dummy. We have tried to encourage a comforter but he isnt interested.
I am not interested in controlled crying. Are there any other mums who have been in this situation who can offer advice? I feel like I might go crazy if I don't have some sleep soon.
Thanks for listening
