My ds is 7 months next week. His bedtime is 10pm! Or occasionally much later. He wakes anywhere between 8-10am. He wakes up every 2 hours in the night, sometimes every 1 or 3 if I’m lucky. He wants to be comfort fed back to sleep. I’m terms of his routine and attempt to get him to bed earlier (7-8am), I’ve tried getting up earlier and managing his naps. So if we get up at say 8am, his first nap will be around 10am, second 2pm, 3rd around 4-5pm. He naps around 2 hours each time, I presume because he isn’t getting restful sleep at night. However, it comes to his third nap and he won’t settle until 7ish. If he isn’t napping again until 7pm, he’s again on track for a 9-10pm bedtime again. If I turned his third nap into his bedtime he wakes up to play so he views it as another nap. I’ve changed his times around and reshuffled his routine so many times after weeks of trying something new abs nothing seems to work. He’s with me 7am all the way through until I go to bed at night so I’m literally not getting any time to myself.
Losing my mind honestly. Any simile experiences, suggestions, reassurances. All welcome and appreciated! X
