Hi my DS is 13 weeks old tomorrow. For about the last 5 weeks or so we have got into a loose routine - bath at 7 pm, last breastfeed upstairs in darkened room and in crib sleepy at about 7.30 pm. He usually takes a bit of settling and DH and I take turns but by about 8.30 pm DS is usually in the land of nod. DS has been waking about 2 or 3 times to be fed (EBF) but feeds and goes straight back off. However, the last 2 nights have been a nightmare!! He is waking, I feed him but he won't go back off.... he thrashes around like I've never seen before (!!) and then cries. He only seems to want to go back to sleep if I cuddle him but then when I put him down he wakes up again !!! Hes also gone from waking 2 to 3 times to about every other hour!! He isn't a particularly sleepy baby and doesn't really sleep much in the day just little catnaps - yesterday he slept on his beanbag for about 45 minutes which was a miracle!
Any ideas of why this sudden change?? I thought I was hard done by getting up to feed 2 to 3 times but now that seems like great compared to now!
At first I thought weather but it has been much cooler last night and still have the same performance! I did notice yesterday a lot of drool and hand eating and wondered whether teething?? Is it too early for this and would this affect his sleep like this? I can't feel anything along his gums ...
Any advice greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
