Hi, DS is nearly 10 months and has never slept longer than 3 hours at a time. He goes to bed between 6-7 in his own cot (in our room), is BF to sleep then wakes at approx 9, 12, 1, 3, and up for the day by 5.30. I usually get him in with me by midnight though it has become increasingly earlier with my increasing exhaustion
He is completely incapable of self settling and I BF back to sleep every time. We have tried th NCSS but it just doesnt cut it with my boy. He has also been to Cranial Osteopath and it made a zip lot of difference.Daytime naps are no longer than 30-60 mins and he has to either BF or be pushed in puschair to sleep.
He eats 3 good meals a day as well as snacks and also BF at least 4-5 times a day. He must have the metabolism of a racing snake as he is a little dot on the 2nd centile.
Generally he is a happy chappy but is on the go constantly and has been crawling since 7 months. He is just entering the clingy sep anxiety stage and I am due to return to work in 6 weeks, albeit part time but very demanding job which can involve lots of driving.
We need help to help him get back to sleep and we are interested in other peoples experiences of sleep training. Im not too keen on the concept of CC but never say never.
In an ideal word I would like him to spend the night in his cot but am realistic and would be happy to continue to co-sleep as long as it did actually involve some sleep!!!
