DS is 8mo and we've moved to Singapore. Been here a week and every night DS has gone to bed as usual at 6.30/7pm as tired following usual routine. After the first day which didn't go normally of course, we have kept to his usual routine of a short morning sleep and a slightly longer afternoon one where possible. He's eating at usual mealtimes and self settling for bed. However, every single night he has woken between 8 and 9pm and been unable to re-settle himself. We have tried milk and water which he hasn't wanted, cuddling, patting and stroking his back, holding his hand and leaving for 10-15 mins at a time. eventually after a lot of shouting and stress he goes back to sleep after 2 hours or slightly more. He then sleeps the rest of the night and doesn't want to get up in the morning . We always wake him at 7am to start the day and get him on track .
Dd has caught something horrible so she is up with that and DH and I are wondering how to get our eveninfs back. In the UK he sometimes woke in the early hours but almost never in the evening. Can someone suggest anything?
