This has for the most part always been the case, a few good nights here and there but his sleep is just terrible. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I know babies wake, I don't mind that and I would be fine if it was 3 hour stretches. The problem is I'm constantly awake and getting barely any sleep and I constantly feel run down and unwell like my body is giving up from the sleep deprivation.
I've tried switching to formula instead of breastfeeding, moving him to his own room so he isn't disturbed, doing bed time routines , good naps during the day etc.
Before I get comments, my partner tries to help however he only settles with me (probably where he was/is breastfed) and if my partner does take him so I can sleep it's a case of him holding him on the sofa at like 4am which isn't ideal (and he leaves for work early at 6.30am)
I don't feel comfortable co sleeping because my older child often wakes and sneaks into the bed during the night and I'd be so worried she would come in half asleep and roll onto him or pull blankets over him whilst she's asleep.
My daughter was the same, but it seemed easier as I mostly co slept with her and life was less busy with just her, I would catch up on sleep when she napped.
Any helpful and supportive advise or suggestions would be much appreciated!
