Help please? First time mum need advice

[teddybearpicnic21]

DS is 3 months old. He had his 12 week vaccinations the other week and then caught a little cold after it so hasn’t really been himself for a week and a half!

Prior to this, he’d go to bed (bedside cot in our room) about 8/9pm then wake about 2/3 am for a bottle. It was a good little routine!

Now since then he won’t go down in his cot at usual time, he wakes for cuddles until about 11.30/12 where he’ll then sleep for a little bit before his bottle.

Is this normal considering what went on the past week? Im worried I’ve somehow lost the bedtime I worked hard to implement

Sleep progression is not linear.

You will have lots of times when sleep seem to go downhill for no obvious reason. This will happen multiple times in the first 3 years or so.

One bit of advice I would give you is never get used to a certain routine with a baby!
Literally anything makes it all go tits up, illness, teething, growth spurt, regressions you name it.
My DS slept great for the first month or so, then I had many multiple wake ups for months after that.
Enjoy your sleep whenever baby is going through a "good" sleep stage and just know it probably won't stay like for too long

Yep!

Baby sleep is a mysterious beast. Weirdly, it's not uncommon for newborn babies to sleep quite well and for long stretches at first. DD was doing six-seven hour stretches by five weeks. And then it changed. And changed again. Then again.

Basically every time you think you've cracked it, something will happen

Agree with all of the above! Don't 2nd guess yourself, just do your best in responding to baby's needs. They will be ever changing!

Totally normal. I found the next lot of jabs seemed to make me ask 'did I break my baby?' even more so beware!
