My DS is 3months, happiest baby in the world but does not sleep very well at night and only naps for 30 mins on his own- well, I took him to an osteopath and she does seem to have helped him. He may wake after 30 mins but with a cuddle from me he can get to sleep for another 30 mins to an hour.
Night is another story, he becomes very restless. I thought it was wind, teething but he has no problem sleeping when cuddled up, either on his back or upright. My dad said he knows what he wants : )
Problem is that I am on my own and desperately sleep deprived, getting only 3-4 hours a night. If anyone can advise re sleep training that wd be great. I love cuddling up with my son and wd have no prob when he's a bit older and out of sids risk age...
Also feel a bit upset that I struggle with sleep deprivation and have to go to my parents a few nights a week. A couple of other mum's I've spoken to implied I should just struggle on and everyone has to put up with it. I am the only driver, carer etc so feel I need a bit of help, esp after 4/5 nights of 3 hours sleep.
Thanks in advance for any advice x
