I have had problems with DS sleeping since birth, but, he has always been hard to get to sleep but once down, down for the night. However, we have struggled for 2 months to get him into a good routine of proper bedtimes. It worked for a few weeks but we had 2 weekends visiting family and ever since he has been waking at exactly 1.5hrs after going down. He wakes full of beans and happy, not grizzly or still tired at all. Then runs about laughing and climbing till we can take no more and take him back to bed at midnight. He then wriggles round the bed (we co sleep) poking us in the eyes and ears and playing with my hair till he eventually drops off again at about 2am. I then force him awake at 7.30am hoping to keep the routine going. He grizzles about and clings to me all morning till i put him in the buggy and walk for an hour 10-11am - he fights sleep till about 10.45am. I let him sleep for an hour and a half and then keep him awake playing in the garden, walking to the swings, playing with shapes etc. At 4pm he starts to yawn and i bath him, have dinner, do stories and he falls asleep between 6-6.45pm. Then he wakes again exactly an hour and a half later and it all starts again. I am in tears tonight as i just can't go on like this. I am exhausted. There now isn't a moment of the day he isn't 'on me', all day and all night limpeting on. I just need a couple of hours to myself.
