Hi everyone!
My DS has just turned 7months old. For the last few months he's been happily napping in his cot in his room for 3naps a day. I rock or bounce him on me until he's asleep then I transfer and typically get 2 x 1hr30 & 1 x 30/40min. He has slept through the night for the last 3weeks too! 8pm - 6:30/7am.
I've just moved him into his own room for bedtime sleep as he no longer fits his next to me cot. I'm sleeping in his room with him as it's still safest for him. No room in our room to move his cot either.
I know sleep turbulence is to be expected with moving him, but he has started to HATE being rocked to sleep on me and will scream if he's put down in his crib if he's anything less than fast asleep. It's so tough to get him to sleep now at night or day.
Once he's asleep though he's brill and will stay asleep and resettle, until 4:30am hits and he cannot settle himself back to sleep unless it's on me for a contact sleep. He's still super tired and not ready for the day yet!
Typical routine is
7 am Up
9am - 10:30am Nap 1
1pm - 2:30pm Nap 2
5pm - 6pm Nap 3
8pm - Bedtime
We have blackout ans white noise in his room. We also do not co sleep (so I am now up from 4:30 every morning) or have comforters due to family history of SIDS. He refused all comforters anyway!
I'm now really hating sleep times and just wish I had a way to help him! Does anyone have any advice or similar at this age??
Thanks!!
