We are at our wits end and have no idea what to do.
Ds is nearly 6 months and since before xmas he started to wake up through the night again. He was sleeping through from 9pm to 7am from 6 weeks.
Admittedly he had Broncilitis just after xmas but he's fully recovered now.
However things have become worse. He has now got into the pattern of waking every hour from midnight onwards. Its that bad, its even to the exact minute!
Now I do feed him every time but he only takes a little bit and goes back off so I guess he's just using it as a comforter to get back to sleep. If I leave him he screams.
I have also started to put him to bed at 7pm which he is ok with. He either wakes about 9/10pm or I will wake him for one last feed. Since he's been going down at 7, he's also waking at 7am. If he was sleeping through or even just waking once I could cope with that but on the back of no sleep, its a real killer.
Dh and I havent a clue what to do to try and settle him. Our dd was a dream sleeper so we've never had to deal with anything like this before.
We've discussed putting him in his own room now but the upstairs of our house is very big and his bedroom is at the other side of the building and the furthest away from out room, so if he's going to continue waking every hour, I'll be buggered if I'm trapsing back and forth!
The only other idea I had was to just let him cry it out or do the pick up put down thing.
What on earth can we do?!
