I'm after a little help. I'm a FTM and have probably made every error possible that can be made :/ my son was born prem at 30 weeks and never slept at all until he was 4 months old. He had reflux which did not help.
He gradually got better and is now a very spirited little boy who is wired most of the day 
He was in our room until 2 months ago and we moved him into his own room. It went well for erm...2 nights. He now wakes every 3 hours, not really awake but almost crying in his sleep.
About a month ago we started the gradual retreat method as he was also being cuddled to sleep. He also has a dummy. Al of this came from his time in SCBU when he was born and the fact he has reflux, we couldn't get him to sleep at all without this but now it's hindering us.
The gradual retreat isn't working so well - he still tries to sit up or stand in his cot at least 30 times per night.
We are still at the point of sitting next to him as he is fast and you can actually get to the door before he's up again lol. So in short, it takes us about an hou to get him to sleep and he still wakes up every 3 hours. What am I doing wrong?
He naps at 9 for an hour and 2 for an hour
any help would be appreciated!
