Help 20week old getting bad sleepin habbits

[Wilsonlol01]

Hi my LO is 20 weeks he has been going down fine on a night untill this last week as soon as i put him down he cries his eyes out same with naps on the day as soon as i pick him up he stops but then starts wen put down and clings on to me for his life why all of a sudden has this happened ? He is such a good baby too he wakes for his dummy in the night alot which i am now use to am i settin these bad habbits? Tips advice needed please thanks xxx

Have there been any developmental changes recently? My son's nightime sleep went a bit haywire at around that time, just as he'd discovered how to roll onto his tummy and started babbling a lot more. They're a bit better now (4 weeks later) because he spends tons of time rolling around in the day to get the practice in so he doesn't get stuck when he rolls in the cot.

I've never used a dummy as my son uses his thumb! Could you try to introduce a comfort blanket instead as it's a lot easier for him to find in the night?

Could it just be a blip if he's under the weather? Might be worth getting the gp to check for any ear/urine infection etc.

He could of course just be playing you?!

My DD's sleep went a bit haywire around that point, for no apparent reason. I think it was part teething and part the so-called '4 month sleep regression'. It did pass, so hopefully it will be the same for your lo.

Thanks alot for coments tonight they was no crying at all ?? hopefully its a faze! I put everything to teething he has all the signs just no teeth lol he is learning to roll but not quite over yet he a bit of a chubba !
He has a lil blanky and dummy wen he wakes in night i give him dummy and he likes to be on his side so i crop him over about once a week he will sleep through
Thanks for comments

This has gave me hope
