DS2 is 8 months old and up until about a month ago has been sleeping through the night after his last 7.30pm feed until around 7am. Now he's waking up 8-9 times a night and I'm in and out of his room giving him his dummy back because he's lost it. I can see him on the video monitor. Once he's got the dummy he will nod off again but I'm still in and out. Last night was 8 times and then he finally went quiet at 3.20am and woke up at 6.10am so I brought him in our bed because he wakes up DS1 who is then too tired at school.
Should I stop the dummy altogether? Going back to work in a few months time and I can't have this then! I'm waking up feeling like a zombie and snappy with DS1 because I'm exhausted and as the day goes on I feel worse and worse. Come Thursday I'm ready to drop. I've never been able to manage on little sleep, it's just the way I am. This is taking over everything because I don't feel like going anywhere when I'm so tired or having anyone over knowing the night will be bad. We gave the dummy to help with reflux but that's gone now. Do I need to give him an extra feed or meal before bed? He is a hungry baby. Need help please :-(
