My baby has always been a great sleeper since 8 months old. Slept idependantly and through night for naps and night time.
He’s had a bout of illness poor thing and routine obv out the window / and I was spending every moment in day with him and obv going to him at night when he needed me.
He’s now fully better but waking up loads at night and in naps. He’s stopped sleeping independently too and I have to pat or hold his hand for naps / bedtime/ and night wakes. He’s also pretty upset when I’m out of sight or go to work but he will let me leave the room while he’s okaying but prob has got some SA
He’s waking every 2 hours at night for last 5/6 days and all started after he got better?! His naps are also short waking every sleep cycle. And co sleeping won’t work coz first wake up is 8pm and I’m not in bed as I have work to do and I don’t want him to roll off! Plus we never sleep when we co sleep. I tried it the other day and we both just stayed awake.
We were doing one nap a day , then he got ill and he needed 2 and now we slowly gone back to one nap. I don’t think it’s a schedule thing.
I’ve left him today for a few Mins crying to see if he would go back but he went mental and got so cross and then it took longer to settle him.
He’s totally well now so it’s not that
Any ideas of what to do! Me and dh taking it in turns to sleep in his room and hold his hand when he wakes up so we are managing but also tired and not finding the floor very comfy!
