7mo all over the place - any advice?

My 7mo DS2 just has the most erratic sleep patterns. Last week he was having a dream feed at 10.30pm and then going through to anywhere between about 4-5am. Thursday night he woke at 3.45am, I went and put his dummy back in and he went back until 6.30am.

This week has been a ruddy nightmare though. The past few nights DH and I have been in and out of his room countless times - last night he woke at 1.20am, wouldn't settle so eventually I fed him, he took a whole bottle and fell asleep in my arms. I went to put him in the cot and he woke up then wouldn't go back for ages. DH had to cuddle him to sleep, and I think we probably all were back in bed asleep by 3am. He then woke again at 5.20am, was very awake and so I brought him into bed with us and basically cuddled him into submission where he slept for another hour or so.

He's a hungry boy, is on three really good solid meals a day, and also has between 5-7oz bottles at 7am, 2.30pm and 7pm.

What's going on? Can anyone shed any light? I can't stand it - it makes me really cross :(. I need help!

Hi! No advice really, just to say I am in the same boat!!!
Don't know what's going on - my DS is really settled in the day - puts himself to sleep for his 2 daily naps at 10 and at 2, and sleeps for about an hour/hour and a half, but his nights are shocking, and just when I thought that he was settling into just one wake up a night, its all gone to pot...

He looks like he's teething, so maybe your LO is sprouting some gnashers too?

He has 2 teeth already, but there may be more on the way I guess...

Glad I'm not alone!

i am in the same boat too!! dd is 7.5 months and will sometimes sleep through 7 to 7. Other nights will wake for a bottle at any time between 1 and 6 despite having eaten like a horse that day!! one night she woke at 10.E0 and downed a whole 7oz for goodness sakes. She is constantly teething and just startef crawling this week which i think is both making her hungry and overloading her brain....hope she settles down soon
