back to work problems

[ktbell28]

Hi all. Am asking for advice here am running out of ideas and tears. My little one is eight months old and teething I've started back at work 30hours every week he spends one day with my husband his dad and the other four days he spends time with my mom he's so happy during the day but come bedtime he completey changes he fights his sleep his bottle he rarely sleeps more than three hours since I went back to work I feel like this is happening because am not with him as much is being back at work wrong for my son???

It might partly be the change but I suspect it is mainly due to the teeth. Is he getting enough daytime sleep with your DH / DM? If not, he will be horribly overtired and that won't help.

It will pass as he gets used to the new routine and the teeth atop bothering him, don't panic!

We found teething pain worse at night, much much worse! could you try a dose of calpol/ calprofen with his bedtime milk and see if his night improves?

What is his day routine like? He really needs two naps a day plus reasonably early bedtime. If he doesnt get this he will be massively overtired and cannot switch off then fights sleep.
