My 6mo is a ridiculously light sleeper. He moves a lot in his sleep and wakes himself up every time. Swaddling made a small difference but he's too big for it now. He sleeps in my bed and I bf back to sleep each time.
I've been trying to settle him to sleep since 6.30pm. he wakes every half hour or so until I go to bed and then hourly after that. All night. He'll only nap in the daytime on my lap with me bfing every time he stirs.
I'm at my wit's end. I've self harmed in frustration. I have no idea how I will cope with working when I finish mat leave. I'm not safe to drive.
Any ideas? Anyone had similar? Anything with leaving him to cry is no go, I just can't. Any other advice much appreciated. Sorry if I don't reply quickly, think he's asleep so going to get some too while I can!
