DS 15months wakes 6/7 times a night. HELP

That's basically it. DS is 15 months and is waking 6/7 times a night. I'm exhausted. Any advice at all.

DD3 isn't a great sleeper either and still wakes once a night but is easy to settle & DH does this.

When DS wakes he wants a quick breastfed & usually quickly settles and goes back over. He's still currently in our room as he's to share with his sister until we move but he wakes so much I can't put him in there and wake her.

He's well fed and stimulated throughout the day. He is a bit of a lockdown baby and is very clingy to me. Even when my husband is around 90% of the time he wants me.

Eventually on the 3rd wake up I give up and bring him into bed with me and he tends to sleep a bit longer then but then will start to wake up. He's very easy woken up by movement or noise. Even in his cot if I roll over quietly he still wakes up.

When I take him to the park some days he just clings onto me, even when not busy. Then comes home & destroys the house burning up all his energy.

I'm so miserable with the lack of sleep please help

I can imagine, that just sounds awful Thanks

Have you tried Dr Jay Gordon's night weaning methodd*? It's very gentle and might just help you both. Once he realises that milk isn't on offer, he may just sleep.

Thanks so much. I'll definitely look into it. At his year review the HV did recommend stopping the night feeds but he just screams until I let him suck.

We live in a flat and I didn't want to wake up the kids that live upstairs. I think that's why I'm so quick to comfort him. I'll just have to bite the bullet. The kids upstairs are noisy enough playing computer games and fighting all hours. It's 2 brothers that share the room above ours. They're not there the whole time as it's their dad that lives above us so I'll have a word with the dad to see what days they might not be sleeping over but the kids seems to come and go when they please and there is no routine.
