Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why my 7 month old boy doesn't sleep well, he's my 2nd and I was so determined to do things 'by the book' this time around (but actually my cuddled and bf to sleep little girl was a much better sleeper - although I didn't appreciate this at the time!)
He naps well in his cot. If out in buggy or car he will snooze but not sleep for any length so I try to make sure he has two naps at home.
Fairly reliable bed time routine, he falls asleep easily and happily - goes in cot wide awake, no sleep props (except cuddly toy)
Normally asleep at 7...on a great night he'll sleep till 1am (it's more often 10pm) and have a 7oz bottle...but the he wakes every one or two hours...and I have no idea why! Or what really to 'do' as he settles himself at bed time, he's not hungry but will sometimes take a dummy (he doesn't have this at 7) sometimes he's just wide awake and is always up for the day at 5ish.
I'm telling myself I just need to wait it out (listening to my babies cry at night makes me very stressed out so would rather go to him but I don't really understand what he wants 
)
He has black out blinds and doesn't seem too hot or cold???
