Happy Easter! Help needed from the mumsnet hive mind for one exhausted mummy. Every night since my little boy was around two months old, he tosses and turns in the early hours (used to be around 4am onwards) and appears to be in a very light sleep. This wasn't so bad when I could try and block it out and doze through it. Now he's six months and gradually the tossing and turning has crept earlier and earlier and has got more and more intense, to the point where he'll wake himself up multiple times a night unless I'm shhhing, patting, cuddling etc. Last night he started at 10pm, thrashed around until 1 where he woke up despite my best efforts, had a wide awake party until 3 then slept until 5 when he wakes for the day normally anyway. I am EXHAUSTED. Any ideas what's going on? I've already tried:
Extra winding /probiotics/ dentinox
Dream feeding/ not dream feeding
Bottle in the night/ no bottle in the night
Co-sleeping/ own room/ next to me
Sleeping bag on/off
Different combinations of baby grows and vests to see if he was hot/cold
Early bedtime (5.30) / late bedtime (8)
Dummy/ no dummy
Lots of daytime sleep/ little daytime sleep
Tilted cot/ flat cot
Medicine in the am/lunchtime/pm
Early dinner/ late dinner/big dinner/ small dinner
White noise
Nappy change/ no nappy change
He's been on omeprozole for 4 months which we are gradually weaning off (20mg down to 5mg at the moment) and was suspended cmpa but recently passed the milk challenge (formula fed) if that makes any difference.
Any ideas???
