Hello, I would really appreciate any advice at all! I feel like I've done everything wrong. My baby is nearly 5 months old and, after a few dodgy weeks, seems to wake up twice or 3 times at night and take a full feed. The problem is fighting sleep. This used to only be a problem during the day, but he recently started to make a huge fuss at bedtime too. We've always been consistent with a bedtime routine of bath, bottle, story, bed, but now it seems to be that I need to walk up and down with him for ages before he falls asleep, and he quite often screams blue murder for a good while first! I spent a long time trying to get him to nap in his crib, but it always resulted in very short naps- the only way I seem to be able to encourage longer sleep is to take him out in the pram. I'm really struggling with tiredness and also guilt that I've not helped him to self-settle. He had an undiagnosed tongue tie, which caused problems with feeding, and then was very colicky and ended up being diagnosed with a cow's milk allergy, and I think I've seen him be so unhappy in the past that I've maybe acted out of misplaced kindness and cuddled him to sleep too much, and it's not working now! It's so difficult as he's mega alert and doesn't seem to ever be drowsy- he very rarely yawns or rubs his eyes, but becomes extra hyper, making it hard to spot his sleepy window. Everything I read advises different amounts of daytime sleep and different ideas about the suitability of sleep training before 6 months. I don't mind getting up a few times at night- I just want bedtime to be a more relaxing experience! Thank you so much to anyone who comments.
