15 week old night waking for comfort...

DS2 goes down in his next to me crib no bother at 8pm most evenings. He's been 'sleeping through' 8-6 for the past 5 weeks (pls don't hate, I know we are incredibly lucky and DS1 didn't sleep at all when he was a baby!)

The past couple of weeks, he's been waking up like clockwork between 1-2am and then refusing to settle until he comes into bed with DH and I, where he promptly snuggles in to me and falls straight back to sleep. I've tried feeding him but he spits the milk out, so he's not hungry, I've checked if he's too warm, too cold, changed his nappy etc and it's none of those.

I'm loving the snuggles as DS1 was an independent little thing and never wanted to be cuddled to sleep, but I never get much sleep when DS2 comes in with us as he loves to snuggle right into the crook of my shoulder and I'm worried about smothering and him overheating.

Do you think this is the start of the 4 month regression, and I should just go with it until he stays in his cot all night again on his own accord? Is he too young to form habits yet? Or should I shut up, enjoy the cuddles and get over myself?

He's formula fed, taking 7-8oz every 3 hrs from wake up to bedtime, and has a dummy. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

I hate whatso ever op! I have a 19 month old who has never slept through and still waKes 1-2 times for a feed.

Depends on you, is this your last? I would just go along with it bcos it’s the best and you never get this precious time back. He is still young too and I think a little cruel to deny him so comfort but I would not judge you - whatever you decide. Neither will be the wrong decision.

following. @marvellousmaplesyrup do you remember what ended up helping you in this moment? I’m having the exact same experience now.
