I have posted this in Feeding too; I don't know if it related to breastfeeding, but I am desperate!
DS2 is 18 weeks old today and we are having a terrible time at night. He is ebf, and slept 'well' until 12 weeks. We were having one long feed in the night at this point between 7 and 7am. Then at 12 weeks this went haywire and nights have been unpredictable with more frequent feedings since then, with the odd 9 hr stretch keeping me sane. However, the last week has been even worse. He has been waking every 2 hours, literally screaming. Generally the only way to settle him is to feed, sometimes I can settle him with rocking, etc. He sleeps in my room in a cot, but on nights like this I am so tired I just keep him in my bed.
I know babies can have the 4 month sleep regression, but this has been going on for 6 weeks, and he seems extremely angry when he wakes up. I am going to see the cranial osteopath tomorrow. He rarely takes a dummy and I don't think he is teething, but who knows. In the day he generally feeds every 2-3 hours and has been distracted lately I sometimes have to take him to a darkened room to feed. In the day he is generally a happy little chap, naps twice although no fixed routine (I find a routine hard with bfing and another DS).
I just wondered if anyone had any advice at all. (I don't remember anything like this with DS1, by this time he was sleeping through til about 5am, although he was mix fed from 3 months.) Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
