Hello,
I am a first time mum to my almost 7 month old baby boy, he was originally a really good sleeper from about 8 weeks where he slept for 10/12 hours through the night , but from about 5 months he started getting up more and more in the night, sometimes he will go straight back to sleep when I rock him other times he will want milk before he goes back to sleep. He is currently on two/three meals a day which consist of weetabix , porridge , fruit, veg and some finger foods like rusks and organic puffs so I don't know how he could be hungry in the night , I would normally catch up on sleep with him the next day but he has now started fighting sleep in the day and not taking naps which I'm surprised of because I take him to baby groups 3/4 times a week
I also rocked him to sleep from the start so he doesn't know how to self sooth , I really don't like the idea of controlled crying or letting him cry it out I tried before and only lasted about 20 seconds !!
I put white noise on and try to cuddle him on the bed but sometimes in the night but he will be wide awake , he doesn't like being put in his cot and when I'm so tired I've resulted in putting him in bed between me and his dad which I think he's starting to get into a habit of which is not what I want
I am meant to be doing a couple of hours work a day from home which I am finding so hard because I'm so tired
Any advise on why he might have stopped sleeping so good and what I could do would be really helpful x
Thank you x
