DS is almost 24 weeks and his sleep has always been questionable, but particularly crap since 15 weeks when he started waking every 1-3 hours (4 month sleep regression I think).
About a week ago we did one night of gentle sleep training at bedtime (pupd/shh pat) and he will now go in his cot awake and go to sleep at night with just my hand on his head/tummy and a bit of shushing, which is real progress as he was always rocked to sleep in our arms. He also now sleeps right through the evening, doing a 3-4 hour stretch and waking around 11pm when we go up to bed.
The last few nights, though, he has woken like clockwork between 1.30 and 2am. He is not hungry, as DH can settle him without a feed (I can't, probably because I am the food source - he is EBF - so I usually just end up feeding him if DH can't get up). However, DH can't do this every night because he's getting exhausted at work.
Once he goes back off he usually wakes again around 4 for a feed and sometimes (but not always) then goes through until between 7 and 8 am.
Why is he doing this and how can I get him to do a longer stretch? The night of the sleep training he did two beautiful 4.5 hour chunks but has been doing this ever since. I am knackered and just want to have three hours' sleep in a row!
We do the baby whisperer EASY thing during the day, with 3-4 naps a day usually lasting 30, 45 or 75 mins - going to sleep after 1.5hrs' awake time - and he goes to bed between 7 and 7.30 following a consistent bedtime routine.
