I have an 11 month old DS who hasn't quite mastered the thing called 'sleep'. He's always had a solid bedtime routine and but no matter what I do, he still wakes up upset during the night (last time was 4 times from 11pm-5am) and can sometimes take a while for him to settle back off to sleep during these wake ups. He has a bottle at bedtime and settles himself off, but always wakes after 45 minutes or so which I then offer a bit more bottle (mostly takes a couple of ounces before bed then pushes bottle away). Sometimes he goes straight back off again once he's rolled over and got comfy, sometimes he is upset (if he's teething it can take a lot longer).
I've seen a sleep consultant and she's advised everything I'm doing is brilliant and to keep at it, but out of curiosity, does anyone else's baby still do this at 11 months old?
He has had a lot of teeth appear within the past couple of months so I'm taking that into consideration, but he is the same teething or not.
We go on holiday later in the year and our DS is staying with my parents so I'm really trying to knuckle down on this sleep malarkey as I am extremely nervous about leaving him if he still isn't great at night!
I have tried every single thing to encourage him to sleep, but it doesn't seem to improve. The best I get is a full nights sleep maybe every month-every 2 months, other than that I spend more time sat beside his cot on the floor than in my own bed.
Besides that, he's an absolute wonderful little being
