My ds is now 5 months. From 3 months we had managed to get him to fall asleep by himself and although he woke up a few times in the night he went back to sleep after being fed.
Recently he's started waking up at 5am and 2am and refusing to go back to sleep after his feed. Instead he either point blank refuses or we can only get him off after a combination of teething ring, rocking, chamomile and sometimes more feeding taking about 30 mins but only at 2am - everything has failed at 5am. Previously he just went down as he has a thumb and knows how to use it! He is teething at the moment but his wake up calls do not seem to coincide with the times he is screaming in pain from the teeth. He is completely breast fed and I'm not planning on starting solids until he's 6 months.
Has anyone got any ideas on why he has started doing this now and how to stop it?
Many thanks,
DS' 2 exhausted parents.
