I'd like to hear a range of opinions as I'm really at the end of my tether and think I might have to Do Something now.
DS is BF and won't take a bottle. He eats solids well.
His sleep has always been dreadful. He is mostly BF to sleep for naps, or has them in the car, sling or buggy. They're usually only short - 30 mins I suppose. For the last couple of weeks I was managing to get him to have one good 1-2 hour nap in his cot, either morning or afternoon but never both.
Nights, well, he's never slept longer than 4 hours at a time, usually 2-3, this week 30 mins-1 hour. I'm not sure how I can cope with it any more. Admittedly, he's been poorly for a few days. He's better now but the sleep isn't. When he does wake, it's taking me up to an hour to get him back to sleep again.
He won't co-sleep, so that's not an option.
If left, or even just put into his cot awake or not completely asleep, he screams and screams, kicks and thrashes around and doesn't stop.
He sleeps with a comforter and sucks his thumb.
Any non-judgey ideas? What sort of routine do other 11 month olds have? I night weaned DD at 13 months and did CC with her at 15 months.
Thanks for reading. It's long!
