6 month old won't sleep

[kirstymarle45581]

Hi, I'm really struggling with my 6 month old he mobile by rolling around and army crawling so when he goes to bed he can't get comfortable and constantly crying and whinging tryin to get comfortable I've tried stripping off his cot and tried with my pillow but nothing works he will sleep for a few hours when I first put him down but after that he's awake every hour trying to get comfortable and screaming when he don't get comfortable. Please help

Is he in a normal cot or travel cot? Is he in a crib, moses basket, carry cot or proper cot?

Assuming your son is in a normal full-sized cot with a normal mattress, I cannot imagine this amount of unsettledness is to do with sleep position being a uncomfortable.

What do you mean by "stripping off his cot"?

Pillows are quite dangerous for babies, I wouldn't recommend.

I would suggest you trial and error other factors which could be causing the wake ups.

Maybe he is hungry? Try feeding at every wake up
Maybe he is cold? Try a baby sleeping bag
Maybe he is hot? Dress in fewer or lighter clothes
Maybe he wants comfort? Try giving a dummy to suck, a comforter toy or try co-sleeping
Maybe he is over tired? Get more daytime sleep
Maybe he can't settle to sleep by himself - try a dummy.
