do i go back to feeding at night (10m)?

[forgottoremember]

DS3 is 10 months. Never a great sleeper (tongue tie only sorted at 6 weeks, blah blah) but not a disaster.

Around Christmas started to go 7 till about 5 without waking, and a couple of times could then be given water and wd then sleep till 7ish.

Over the last month it's all got much worse - he wakes nearer 2ish, and will often howl on and off for hours and hours. We go in and out, but basically he (and we) are awake for 2 or sometimes 3 hours in the middle of the night). This is rubbish: DH works, and I have 2 other kids to look after.

Any ideas of what to do?

Do I just go back to feeding him (BF) when he wakes?
Do I go on with what is essentially controlled crying (NOT working...)?
Do I wake him for a feed before we go to bed?
Do I assume teeth/pain and give him calpol?
Do I assume he's cold and try to stuff some more clothes on him? It IS cold in his room - 12 degrees the last few nights - but now he's wriggling around a lot more I can't keep blankets/duvet on him (he wears vest, pjs, jumper, 2.5tog bag)

Help!

Allo allo. DS sometimes goes thru night waking phases too, he's 22mo now, but we've done the following:

Thermostat controlled fan heater in his room permanently on (keeps him from waking from cold, and also helps prevent the damp his room can suffer from)

If he seems to be waking nightly with pain, and hasn't been teething, we have restarted giving him Infacol - a lot of his night wakings seemed to be gas related, he'd eventually fart and then resettle.

If you think it could be night terrors, I'd just bf him back to sleep - this is the only thing that will settle DS from the screaming terrors.

Re clothing layers, we put DS down in a short sleeved babygro, a footed sleepsuit, and a sleeping bag/Grobag. When I check on him before bed I put his blanket/s on him.

Hope some of that is useful, I realise my DS is much older than yours but we've had the same problem since he was little.

oh, so good ideas, thank you. Never tried infacol on any of them, but might be worth a go.

I don't think he's terrified - he's not all that pleased to see any adult, nor is he much comforted by coming into our bed.
Maybe he IS hungry? he doesn't want to BF in the morning if he does at night tho...
will def try more warm layers tonight.
