Please help me understand why my previously good napper has decided to only sleep 30mins tops AND drop his late afternoon nap all in the one week?
He is also needing more and more resettling once hes in bed for the night. Last night, for instance, he went straight to sleep as soon as I put him down at 6.45 (usually slightly later than this but he was exhausted due to the short naps) but I had to go to him 5 times between then and midnight because he started crying with his eyes closed and dummy in. Usually a hand on his chest settles him. Then he cried again at 1.50am and wouldn't go back to sleep at all, so I brought him in beside me where he slept til 5.30 and woke again. I pretended to sleep and ignored him and he went back to sleep til he was up for the day at 7.45am.
He has been teething for about 3 months and we got 2 teeth at once last week. Weaned early due to reflux so he's on 3 meals a day and eats brilliantly. No allergies to anything that I'm aware of.
He used to be a decent sleeper but I'm at my wits end! He wakes from his naps and still looks visibly tired yet wont be persuaded to go back to sleep. Previously would have slept for an hour in the morning, 1.5hours after lunch and 30 mins late afternoon.
Anyone else in the same boat?
