shouting 19 week old

[SpannerPants]

...particularly in the middle of the night - any advice for how to try and stop this?! He sleeps from 7-midnight then feeds 2 hourly until we get up at about 7, but for the last 3 nights he's been awake for 2hrs from 4am shouting at me, and won't be quiet! I've tried winding, nappy change, rocking, (quiet) singing, white noise and feeding but he just spits the boob out and starts shouting at it.

We're co-sleeping but I'm rapidly losing patience He's waking DP up in the spare room across the hall and I'm worried he'll wake the neighbours. I've even tried asking him to be quiet, but of course he doesn't understand.

Is it time to put him in his cot in his room? I love co-sleeping but I can't carry on with the 4am wakeups as well as broken sleep.

(he doesn't sleep well during the day and usually only on me so limited opportunity for sleeping when he sleeps)

I would try putting him in his own room. My DD, never a good sleeper, started squigglimg and fussing so much I could nor get any rest between the two hourly BF. When i put her in her own room she seemed to calm a bit and not be quite so 'up for a party'.

I think if you are wondering if the time has come to move your little one then it probably has. Give it a go for a couple of nights and see how it goes.

All the best spannerpants!
