Sleep Problem!

Hi guys, my DS is 6 and a half months old.

I seem to have mastered getting him to go to sleep in the evening but the hours between midnight and wake up (06:30) are chaos. Some nights he'll wake up a couple of times, others he'll wake up every hour.

Is this normal for a baby or is he just a bad sleeper?

Ive tried different techniques, for example banana in the evening for a snack, this seemed to work once but not the second night. I've tried not feeding to sleep to see if he just wakes for milk and he seems to feed for comfort then fall asleep (he's breastfed) I've tried calpol etc. For his teeth in case it's teething.

I just can't seem to make any progress. Any advice would be great

Thanks x

Feeding to sleep is the best tool you have so use it. I don't understand why the most human natural way of getting a baby to sleep is so frowned upon in today's society. It is only the western world who have babies with sleep problems... Because we fight everything natural. You may not like reply but just wanted to put that out there.
