My 11
Month old fell asleep at 9pm woke up 11 and has been awake every 15 minutes
Since I'm starting go loose it I'm solo parenting I've tried feeding co sleeping blanket on blanket off he's clearly absolutely exhausted as when he's awake crying his eyes are shut but he's just not settling I just don't know what to do. I'm just typing this really ti get it off my chest as I can feel myself getting frustrated I'm so tired and it's still early I want him to get a good sleep as it makes everyone happier I just don't know what's going on. My next resort is calpol I think just incase as I genuinely don't know what's happening

Can you swaddle him and cuddle to sleep?

Teething? Or wind. Try Calpol and gripe water. it's hard on your own. Try not to beat yourself up. I'm sure you are doing a fantastic job.

I'm really sorry to hear. If they are obviously tired but not able to sleep they could be feeling ill/too hot. Do they have a temp? Rash? Are they rubbing anything? Pulling ears? Have they eaten much today? Will they settle in your bed with you? It usually helps. Def take them to the doc in the morning if sleep does not help x good luck

My kids' nursery staff used to gently draw a line from the babies' hair down the forehead to the nose, repeatedly. They swore it worked brilliantly!

Good luck op. It does pass (eventually).
