ds is 17 weeks, he's lovely and adorable but frustratingly after settling fairly well at first he now goes down at say 8ish and then wakes up several times after that before settling completely. I bf before bed and theough the night, he has ff at tea time.
He's also waking up a LOT more at night after previously having gone 10 hours. I'm aware that could be due to a growth spurt.
It's the evening thing that bugs me the most though. It means either me or dh has to be in. We do have offers of babysitting sometimes but the last 2 times we've been out I've been fetched back because he keeps waking up, once he's finally settled usually after the 3rd or 4th time he will go 5 hours or so but it could take 4 go's over 2 hours to finally get him down.
Any tips? I really want and need my evenings back, just need to get out ocassionally further than 5 mins away.
Ff before bed doesn't seem to make much difference either he still wakes up repeatedly although not neccessarily for milk.
