My ds is 4 months , he is in his own room since 3 months because he was such a good sleeper it was us that disturbed him. This worked and we were all happy.
Well how this has all changed ! He goes to sleep ok at 6.30 ish and we feed him around 11pm before we go to bed. From about midnight he starts whinging and crying out. He will no longer self settle like he used to....once I've been in to make sure he's ok if I leave him he'll start shouting and rolling around his cot like he's possessed!
When he is hungry he has his bottle but that does not help him relax, he still carries on.
When dp was away ds had a bad cold so I had him in with me so I could keep an eye on him. Just me and him in the king size bed no pillows or duvet (it was a warm week) I was happy with the safety aspect. I know he'll settle in bed with us but I'm not happy with the safety aspect any more, also he's very mobile and we are all squashed and can't sleep.
Last night I tried to settle him for hours. I'm exhausted now. I don't want to co sleep for safety and also because I need some time away ! He has become super clingy and whiny in the day too ( he naps ok thank god )
Is this because he was ill? Or something else? Can he go back to settling in his cot?
Help
