DS2 is ebf and 10 months. Refuses all attempts at formula from a cup or bottle, which, to be honest I don't really have a problem with.
He used to be a relatively good sleeper until about 2 months ago when he had a succession of colds, teeth, stomach bugs, and it all went to pot.
Now his daytime sleep is virtually non-existant. 30 mins holding him and rocking him will get about 30mins sleep in the morning and in the afternoon he might nap in the car but not great. He will also doze off during his 3pm feed.
He is bf to sleep in the evening and usually wakes around 5am - when I bring him into our bed to feed him, which he does until around 7.
The problem is he seems to be becoming more reliant on feeding to sleep and now, won't even be put down in his cot - he just wakes up screaming when I move him and won't settle down. It took over an hour this evening - he just wants to stay attached!
He also goes to a childminder twice a week for 6 hours when he doesn't sleep at all, and is then miserable for the rest of the day.
I have no real desire to stop bf but I really need to get his sleep sorted out. I feel that it's making things worse, not better. It's affecting DS1 as my time with him is being disrupted by either a non-sleeping or over tired baby.
Am at the end of my tether.
