Help my baby's sleep routine is ruined!!

[Need2morehands]

It's my fault I know we've been here there and everywhere over Christmas not to mention moving house and now we are paying the price! My lo is 6 months old and has always been a good sleeper we have always stuck to a fairly structured routine with the occasional bad night but the past few days have been a nightmare. He has his usual naps in the day and we do his usual routine in the evening a bit of porridge a bath and bottle then usual he falls straight to sleep but not now he will cry for hours! He eventually will fall asleep on one of us but will wake up as soon as we put him down. I'm lay down with him just screaming on me now and I don't know what to do iv walked round offered him a bottle sang to him but him in bed and nothing works. Please help him and me

Is he normally falling asleep towards the end of the bottle?

What's his daytime routine normally like?

Sleep changes all the time. Next week it will probably all be different and you still need to live your life

My LO's sleep went crazy at 6 months, we had three weeks of hell. She had been sleeping through before that so it was a bit of a shock to be up 6-10 times a night again 😭

However after 3 weeks we went back to 'normal' and she was sleeping through again. I read up on it and its apparently quite common at that age as they go through a big growth spurt and lots of developmental changes.

Have you heard of The Wonder Weeks? It’s a book/app that will chart your baby’s developmental “leaps” - these are fixed periods of brain development that every baby will go through at the same approximate age. A classic sign of a “leap” is a disrupted sleep pattern, it’s no fun but it will pass.

6 months is smack in the middle of a leap, he may just be feeling this one particularly badly. For now just do what you need to do and remember that everything is a phase.
