11 month old disturbed sleep!!

Too some people this may not seem bad but when your child used to sleep through from 7 weeks old to about 6/7months old it's a bit tough. My 11 month old wakes up during the night around 2am. He has two naps a day, one around 10am and he normally sleeps for about an hour and then goes for a sleep around 2pm and for some reason that is around 30 mins sometimes 40 if we are lucky.

he has his bedtime bottle around 6:45 and we normally take him up to bed around 7:10pm and he's actually normally asleep within 5 mins which is great. But then 2am comes and we used to just lay him back down and he'd go straight back off but now he wakes up crying and normally takes about 30 mins to go back off and then he would normally sleep in till about 6:30am but in the last week or so it's been 5am or 5:30am 😑 and the thing is he doesn't go back to sleep anymore.

is there anything I can do to help this?

please be kind with your advice or tips

he is a great feeder, 3 meals a day, currently on three bottles a day but he seems to be leaving a bit of his midday one so I think that one may be dropped soon.

Another reason why this is a bit of a problem is that he is sharing a room with his brother and in the recent nights he's started to wake him up.

I appreciate this situation could be a lot worse and credit to those parents who have multiple wake ups I appreciate every child is different

If he is waking that early then the first nap should be brought forward, my DS at that age was asleep by 9/9:30! This then brought the afternoon nap forward to 1ish. And then he was a lot more settled during the night. He never slept through till he was 1 though and completely off milk. Do you offer a bottle at the 2am feed?
This does sound like a normal sleep regression so hopefully it won't last long. He might be getting ready to master a new milestone!

The afternoon nap is always short and that schedule sounds fine.

Do you offer milk? I feed my baby when he wakes and he goes straight back to sleep (he's 9 months and wakes once a night between 2-5). If he wakes after 5am, like 5.30, he never goes back to sleep.

Apparently 5.30 is actually a normal wake up time for babies and toddlers....So painful.

If he's not finishing his daytime milk he could be a tiny bit hungry.

My little one went through exactly this. It was just a phase and I didn’t change anything, all of a sudden changed again at about 12-13 months

Hi everyone,

thank you for all your comments and being kind about it. I haven't offered milk in the night as he's gone so long without it - maybe this is something I could consider if it will help. I just ideally don't want to go back to night feeds but if it will help then I don't see why I shouldn't.

i also thought about a sleep regression shortly after posting this post - hopefully it won't last much longer 🤞🏼

thank you again everyone x
