My DS is experimenting with new extremes of sleep deprivation . I have always fed him to sleep, he used to sleep though at 4 months ish, then he started waking once or twice between 12 and 8, I was coping fine and feeling a little smug .
Then at 7 months he started teething, then he was a bit ill, then a bit more ill, then away for Christmas, then some more teething, then away again. Life has been calm for a few weeks but his night sleep has now terrible.
Currently we do bath, book, boobie to sleep on the bed, then into his cot in our room. The to sleep part can take 5 min or an hour. He then might sleep for an hour or for 3/4 hours, then feed to sleep, he now wakes every 90min after that. We now end up co-sleeping when I give in putting back in his cot. He would sometimes stay awake for 2 hours at a time, but this last week he has started waking for 4 hours at a time and thats the part I can't cope with. His daytime naps where alright, but are becoming harder. I'm running on empty, DS is not happy anymore Any ideas? I urgently need to sort the 4hour wakings, was walking him in the snow at 5:30am this morning.
