Hi, none of my children have been good sleepers or slept through. However, my 7.5 month old I had in a great routine. He'd go for two sleeps a day of about 1.5hours morning and afternoon at same time and I could give him a cuddle and sing a son then put him down and he'd soothe himself to sleep. At night he had bath, a cuddle and bed and would need a little more soothing but would then go down and go to sleep. He still had a bottle at 11 and then one in the night sometimes two but would go straight to sleep.
Well two weeks ago I went on my sister in laws hen for the weekend and since iv been back its been nothing short of a nightmare. He was great for my fiancée but would hardly sleep and was waking up every hour and he was rocking him to sleep. So now he won't self settle, he won't take his naps during the day and sleeps for 30 minutes at most. He's waking in the night for up to an hour and a half, two hours. Last night he went down at 6.30 and then had a bottle at 11.30 and settle at 12. Then he woke up at 1 and was awake till alf two and then he was up for the day at 6.30 this morning. He was shattered so I put him back for a sleep at 8.30 and he's woken up after 25 minutes raring to go again.
The other thing that coincides is, he's been commando crawling since 5 months but had just started properly crawling in past two weeks. He's started pulling himself up and cruising round the furniture and saying hiya and ta and tata and waving too. Me and my fiancée are exhausted and its making us argue and I'm back at work in a month. I previously followed the Abby whisperers pu/pd but he's resisting this and just keeps crawling or pulling himself up to standing at the cot. I also think he's drinking too much milk at night and would like
To cut it out.
Anyone got a magic wand??
