My DS is 1 year this week. First 6 months he wasn't too bad a sleeper and slept from 7-5 not consistently but enough, so I thought we were doing pretty well. When he started weaning it all seemed to go slightly wrong and since then I don't seem to have any consistentcy in how he sleeps.
It has been especially bad the last few weeks but he has had lots of changes - started crawling, childminders, I'm back in work part time etc etc. Once a week he will sleep from 7-6.30 but the rest of the week he can be awake 3 times in the night. This weekend for example he slept 7-7 on the friday (amazing) and then woke 4 times in the night on saturday!!! There weren't any massive differences in naps/daytimes etc.
He used to be really good at going to sleep at 7pm but for th last few weeks he is waking earlier and earlier i.e. 9-10pm. He naps when he is with me twice a day 9am - 1.5hr and 2/3pm 30mins, but at the CM just has one nap.
My question is do babies ever consistently sleep through, should i be sleep training? I don't mind CIO but we live in a flat and have a neighbour that complains so it limits the amount of crying (hence I always seem to be running into him to try and keep him quiet).
I had been bf when we wakes in the night but trying to stop so now my DH settles him the first time he wakes.
What should i do, I just want him to sleep thorugh, any suggestions or should I lower my expectations!
