Another sleep whinge, sorry! My 7mo DS was always a really good sleeper. He was doing 8 hour stretches at 8 weeks old and I thought I had a magical unicorn baby. He settled into a fairly regular pattern of waking twice a night for a quick bf then could settle himself straight back to sleep. However for the last 3 weeks or so he it’s all gone a bit wrong. He goes down to sleep ok at about 6/half 6 (horrendously early I know but that seems to be his natural bedtime), wakes about 10 for a feed then another at 2. Before, he would then go back to sleep again and wake for the day about half 5 but he just doesn’t seem able to drop back off after the 2am feed. He rolls around and wriggles and giggles. Eventually I give up and bring him downstairs to sleep in my arms while I sit on the sofa and vow the next night I won’t give him. But I always do…
Am I making a bad habit by letting him sleep on me? What can I do to break the cycle whilst making sure he gets enough sleep? I BF and he eats plenty of solids.
