hey everyone im new :)
my names Kaytee and im a 19 year old single mummy to little Kai.
Ive also posted this in the behaviour section but thought it might be more appropriate here?
my stories abit long but hope you can read it..
Kai was a great sleeper till 3 months when he developed colic and would scream all night long. The only way i could get him to sleep was to sleep with him in my bed. Fast forward 11 months and he's still here. I really want to get him into his own cot for his sake and mine. Another thing is that he now climbs out of his cot and goes with a thud to the floor :(
Secondly, this little monster is STILL on FOUR bottles a night, yes four at 14 months, WTH?!?! Ive worked out that its his way of soothing back to sleep because at 10 months he decided he didnt want a dummy anymore, to think i was happy about it!! He has to have one to go off with and then wakes up for another three between 11pm-7am. Ive tried switching it to water to make him not interested but he loses the plot untill he gets milk and i mean SERIOUSLY loses the plot, bangs his head off the walls and screams blue murder.
Finally, he can not settle himself to sleep AT ALL. I have to spend an hour rocking him to sleep everynight at 7.30pm so he'll actually go to sleep. In the night he's so used to be cuddled into me that if he isnt cuddled into me having a bottle he will not sleep and just scream and scream and scream
so sorry its so long and i know ive got him into some terrible habits but i really need to break them now before it really is too late (i hope it isnt already.) Any advice would be so much appriciated as its driving me round the bend as i go to college doing a business course and functioning on such little sleep is near enough impossible lol
thankyou xxx
