My DS is four months old and since he was about a month old I have slept in the spare room with him and done night feeds (bf) as the cot doesn't fit in our bedroom. I don't mind doing this and the night feeds don't bother me that much (although obviously it would be lovely to get more sleep and to move back into my own bedroom with DH). He's always changing and goes through stages of sleeping better but the last few weeks has woken every 2-3 hours and fed. However there have been 3 nights in this time where DH has slept in the room with him (with a bottle) to give me a break and all of those times he has slept amazingly and only woken once to feed between 10pm and 7am.
Has anyone else experienced similar and any advice on how to proceed and capitalise on this? He clearly doesn't need the feeds he's taken from me but it's not practical for my DH to take over at night as he works and I'm at home. Is my presence disturbing him somehow?
