My DS is now 13months old, and still a rubbish sleeper. He goes to bed most nights around 7 without any problems, but then wakes screaming several times a night. On a good night he sleeps until 12/1am then wakes once or twice more. A bad night can be wake ups every 1.5/2 hrs. Most times he wakes he screams and arches his back so it's difficult to hold/rock him and it takes around an hour to get him back to sleep. It seems like the issue is wind, but other nights I'm not so sure.
He is still breastfed, but only feeds once in the night usually and sometimes not even that. He doesn't usually settle straight after being fed. I'm at my absolute wits end, and feel at the limit of what I can take. My own health is suffering due to lack of sleep and it feels like my marriage is falling apart.
We keep waiting until - he's out of his leap/not teething/not got a cold/walking but it never improves. I'm starting to suspect food allergies or intolerance but the nurse I spoke to recently seemed to think I was a neurotic mother and told me to see my HV, who told me to sleep train. But I don't think that will help, and don't even know how to when he wakes screaming in discomfort?!
Any help or advice gratefully received.
