10 months old and I'm starting to get a tad p*ssed off.
He goes to bed at 7.30pm... wakes about 11pm for a feed. Then sleeps til 4am - this I could do if at 4am he just had a feed and went back to bed until morning.
But no. 4am feed (last night even gave a bottle in the hopes he would be less snuggly), back to cot - screamed for about 8 mins (not a problem) and then fell asleep... then, about 1hr later, wakes, screams screams screams until he is fed. I have tried water - he gulps half a bottle, realises its not milk and screams somme more, so he ends up in with me because I'm exhausted and the proceeds to pinch and feed until its time to get up.
I don't know how to get him to do that 4-7am stint in his cot. Nothing we seem to try makes any difference - we've had 3 nights in a row before of being up until morning with him screaming whilst we try various methods, and not the teeniest change.
We're both tired. Too tired to stay awake with the screaming one and then function the next day plus the screaming wakes DD after a while Last week was meant to be the week fixing it, but DH and DS were both ill so it didn't happen.
I know its either just go with it or have a few weeks of pure exhaustion while we try and fix it... I think my biggest worry is doing it for a fortnight, it making sod all difference and still having no sleep
