Back story..
Never slept for more than an hour and half as a baby, was diagnosed with CMPA at 4 months. From 4 months until about 20 months, he slept for 2/3 hours at a time (on the good night's) getting up anywhere between 2/3-10/12 a night. We tried changing naps, early bedtimes, late bedtimes, nightlight no nightlight, in his own room, sharing a room, you get the idea 😆
When he was about 20 months, i was pregnant and knackered, so hubby took over some of the night shifts. After a couple of weeks he decides the only thing to do is leave him to scream in the hope he would go back to sleep. I agreed as we had literally tried everything at this point, and I just needed some sleep. He lasted about 1.5 hours , until i went in, the worst experience of my life 😭😭 so since then he now wakes up screaming, mostly every hour.. you can literally walk in, tell him to go back to sleep and he does. But how do we get out of this cycle? Nothing has changed for months, we've tried everything again and are completely at a loss of ideas!
