Hi,
This is my first post. I'm at breaking point and in need for some advice. I feel like I've tried everything but nothing has worked.
My lb is 8 month old and never slept through. He is one hungry baby has bee from day one. He's been in a nighttime routine from birth. Now he's 8 month his routine is wake around 7-7:30am breakfast which is weetbix, fruit and toast a 9oz bottle around 9ish down for his nap about 10am sleeps for around an hour. Wakes big plays or go out to the park or shopping. Lunch around 11:30-12 which is pancakes yogurt and fruit, another bottle around 1pm the down for his afternoon nap which is usually 2 hours he's then gets up plays again. Then 5:30 tea (homemade food ie spag bol, stew or lasagna. Half a banana and a yogurt) bath times 6:30ish supper which is usually a farleys or weetbix then a bottle at 7pm. He's crys for about an hour un til he finally falls asleep. He wakes again at 10-11pm for another bottle, then only sleeps for around 30 mins the he's up and awake spitting his dummy out, wanting mummy cuddles this continues till around 2am which I give him another 9oz bottle he wakes again at 4ish another 9oz bottle and again at 6am for another bottle then he's awake for the day.
My partner works 5 nights a week sometimes 6 so I have only one or two nights of help a week. My mum or dad are not involved in my life so I'm literally on my own apart from my partners mum and dad who both work 40+ hours per week so I never ask them to have him over night as its unfair on them. I've spoken to my health visitor on numerous occasions and she has stated he doesn't need the night feeds. I tried this over a few weeks and he would not settle at all through out the night.
Hes a big lad for 8 month his in 18-24 month clothes and 2 foot 4.
Please can someone help, thank you from one very tried and emotional Mama x
