My son turned 10 weeks old Saturday, we are currently in leap 2. For the past 5 nights I haven't been able to put him in his next to me bed, as soon as I do he wakes up. I've tried leaving him to see if he will settle but he just ends up screaming. Usually, he will feed, I have to sit up with him for 20-30 minutes, otherwise he brings his whole feed up. I then put him in his bed and he sleeps until his next feed. He will only contact nap during the day, a couple of times I've been able to put him down but very rarely. He's EBF and fed on demand. Due to a tongue tie causing a bad latch (we're waiting for an appointment to get it divided again as it reattached) he feeds generally every two hours, even over night. I get the occasional 3 hour gap over night if he's had a good latch and effective feeds throughout the day, then we will be back to 2 hrly, so I'mpretty sleep deprived anway, without this new bed aversion!. Is this bed aversion due to his leap and I just need to hang in there for the next 6 days? Any tips to stop the contact napping and to help me teach him to sleep sooth?
