From 5mo 7mo our lo was sleeping through (6.30 -5.30, with a dream feed at 10) and then we went to NZ for two months to see my family and he was up 3 times a night. We've been back a month and he is still up 3 times a night (although has slept through once or twice) and we are about at our wits end.
At 5mo we did 'gentle' sleep training - when we cried went in and patted him, no bottle, and picked him up if he was crying in an 'emotional' way. It worked a dream and he was sleeping through after two nights. The problem now is that he is mobile so when I go in he is often on all fours (in his grobag) or holding onto his cot bars. If we put him down not 100% asleep he just flips over in his sleepyhead. What do I do?! It doesn't feel like doing the patting will work as he will just flip over. Do I pick him up and put him down drowsy and if he flips over do that same again? I feel like we might need to get rid if the sleepyhead - all ideas and suggestions please!
