Hi all, our DS is 9.5months. He goes to bed ok around 7pm and wakes around 7am. However, he has always woken v.frequently – every hour (or more) 7-11pm then every 2-3 hours from then. Typically he starts the night in our bed before I move him to his cot (when husband and I go to bed), then around 11pm I take him to the spare bed as I find it less tiring to breastfeed him to sleep each time he wakes, than get up to do this. I would really like it if he could sleep in his cot with fewer wakings so my husband and I can share our bed, like before(!). It is too small to fit him in too – we have tried. I would also dearly like it if he would let my husband put him to bed and get him back to sleep when he wakes. He just cries if he doesn’t get me. We have been following 'Gentle Sleep' advice and have a bedtime routine with lavendar bath oil, no screens, a red 'lumie' nightlight and play alpha music all night. We’ve tried getting him attached to a comforter but no joy. He seems to wake with wind, teething pain, or because he ‘falls’ on to his back from his side, or who knows???. He’s hard to put down in the cot as he wakes easily. And he nearly always wants a (short) breastfeed when he’s woken up, a pat/shush/kiss won’t do it. Any more recommendations gratefully received, although we are averse to crying methods – thanks - one extraordinarily tired mummy!
