Wondering if anyone has experienced a similar situation.
My little one is 19 months old. He was an amazing sleeper when he was a newborn and slept in the next to me crib for the recommend 6 months. After that we transitioned to the cot in his nursery where he slept for few weeks.
When he was 6 months he become ill with his first episode of Bronchiolitis and was hospitalised. This has happened 5 times since. Amongst continuous colds, coughs, fever and covid!
He became a nightmare to settle since this. It got to the point where even trying to put him in the cot he would scream to the point he was physically sick multiple times. We tried everything, and I mean everything.
Eventually we got to the point of not sleeping for so long we put him back into our bed and my partner or me would co sleep with him.
This worked for a short period until he was ill again and then we went through a stage of it taking 4 + hours to get him to sleep. Again screaming and wriggling non stop. Eventually this phase passed & we moved him into the spare room where there is a double bed & again one of us has to Co sleep.
We are now going through a stage of him happily going to bed at 6.30 / 7pm no issues. But waking up at 9pm in an absolute tantrum, screaming, crying & pushing me away. My partner manages to settle him eventually but I have absolutely no hope. My other half then has to Co sleep while little one holds his ear all night!
Long story short, it feels like everytime we begin to find a solution and a routine that is starting to work he gets ill and we end up at square one.
Is anyone else feeling like they will never get to a 'normal' sleep pattern and there own bed back 🙄
Thankyou for reading 🙏
