Could really do with some help or advice as lack of sleep/routine is getting me down
DS is bf, but has a ff before bed, usually 9oz, then goes to sleep about 8pm in his moses basket (first problem).
He used to sleep through around 5, but for the past 3 weeks he has been waking between 1 and 4. Normally I lift him out of basket which is in his cot, take him into spare bed and lie next to him, feeding him til we both fall asleep. Unfortunately its getting to a stage where he is comfort feeding on and off most of the night, so neither of us get much sleep.
I have tried feeding him and putting him back in his basket but he just screams. This morning he woke at 3, i fed him til 4, brought him downstairs, he had 3oz of a bottle, he didnt go back til nearly 5am and was awaske again at 6.30....
I really want to get him into a routine of some sort, or even just out of the habit of being fed back to sleep, as i feel at 5 months he's not a "baby" any more, and any bad habits we get into now are just gonna cause further problems down the line.
In an ideal world I woyuld like him inb his cot, sleeping through agsin, or even waking feeding and going back down.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated....i'm even thinking of buying the GF book I'm getting that desperate!!!
