DS has always been a crappy and light sleeper but lately reached a whole new level.we moved him to his new room a couple of weeks ago - im 36 weeks pregnant and his old room is to be the baby's room (better this way for a whole host of reasons). Now, DS loves his new room, it's all decorated in stuff he loves and he has a new bed which he actually asks for at bedtime. That in itself is novel since bedtime up til now has always been somewhat a battle of wills. He goes down quite easily now. So far so good.
Then it all goes wrong. He starts waking every hour from about half 10 and now won't settle unless holding our hand. He's tossing and turning so much I don't know if he's waking himself up. Not sure if his final molars are coming through so we tried calpol last night with no effect.
Because he's waking so often one of us (usually DH) ends up kipping on his floor because we simply can't face the endless up and down all night. We have coslept in our bed in the past but want to avoid it since I'm only 4 weeks from due date an will have the baby in side car cot with us which will guarantee to keep DS awake if he's in our bed too (doesn't take much!)
I'm probably too sleep deprived to make sense here, I guess I'm asking if anyone has any ideas/suggestions since we're getting desperate - the only one here who doesn't seem to be affected by the lack of sleep is DS typically! I don't know if its the new room thing and he'll take more time getting used to it - he seems so happy to go to bed there though.
Anything you can add will help - family are no bloody use, they keep muttering on about how all theirs slept through from 5 min old and they never had any of this and it's probably all my fault for bf!!!
