My DS has always been a bad sleeper. I feel like the four month sleep regression started at 13 weeks and never went away, but before this weekend we were down to two feeds a night and a couple of wake ups that could be settled in his crib with a hand on his chest, shushing and popping his dummy back in. He's EBF but doesn't usually feed to sleep except for occasionally in the middle of the night.
The last few days/nights he's been awful. He's up every 30 minutes overnight from when he goes down at 8ish until 7am. He's refusing to be settled unless he's fed or rocked for upwards of 30 minutes a time. He has an established bed time routine, we use white noise etc. He won't self settle. If we rock him to sleep, he wakes immediately when put down.
I've resorted to co sleeping but I'm so uncomfortable I can't sleep. He's still awake and feeding every 30 minutes or so.
There are no signs of any teeth that I can see and we've tried Calpol before bed but it's doing nothing. He's always been very windy overnight but it's been worse since we started weaning. Weaning itself is going very slow, just once a day, mainly finger food and a few pear/apricot purées to help with the constipation he's had.
Before the weekend we used to put him down for naps in the day, but now I cannot get him in his cot asleep. He's napping on my lap as I type this like he used to when he was tiny. The second his head goes down he starts hysterically screaming like he's in pain and won't stop until he's picked up.
I don't know what to do. The lack of sleep is killing me. The nights seem so long and in the day time I literally can't put him down without him having a meltdown.
