I’m hoping an experienced mother out there can help me with a sleep deprived baby.
He is 6months old.
He always slept relatively badly. At first it was ok, but by 3 months he started waking every 1/2 hrs. So we have ended up co-sleeping. He is EBF.
But I’m not trying to solve the whole of his sleep pattern. I’m just trying to remedy one thing.
We put him every night at 7pm to bed.
But every night he wakes loads over those first few hours. Between 7pm and 9pm he wakes every 15-40mins.
It doesn’t matter the number of naps during the day. I thought maybe if he was less or more tired it would affect it but it doesn’t. He has only gone down once in the last 3months and not woken repeatedly.
Our routine is always the same. Bath, sleep, cuddle and he falls asleep being cuddled.
We dont feed him when he wakes again over the next few hours. But he seems to just need a cuddle etc and then settles back.
I just don’t get what wakes him when he is tired. I thought once he understood that he won’t be fed it would stop happening but after two months it has made no difference.
Thank you for getting through this.
If anyone has any ideas or relates to this then i’d Be very grateful to hear from you. Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏼😻
