I'll try and make this not too long but I know I must be doing something wrong. I just have no idea where to start to make it better.
We lightly started sleeping training my DS 2 weeks ago when he hit 4 months as we had been having a rough few weeks prior which we put down to the regression. Within a few days his sleep dramatically improved. Going down about 8/8:30pm, feeding at 3:30/4am then up at 8ish. However, the last few nights have been a bit of a disaster and I don't know where to start.
He has started waking up much more during the night looking for his dummy and is now also taking a feed at 1am. Last night alone our camera said he went into him 14 times. He will wake up at 5:30/6am and I bring him next to me because I need sleep. He sleeps on and off with the occasional cry and wriggle until wake time which is now between 9 and 10am. I was trying to extend his last wake window but he is falling asleep on the bottle by 7:30pm and goes down shortly after.
He is usually getting about 3 hours of daytime sleep split into 3 naps which has been a struggle to get him there as he is a serial nap fighter. It's unfair on him if it's something I'm doing wrong as it's impacting his mood during the day but I just have no idea where to start with this. Is it too much sleep? To little? Later bedtime? I don't want to wake him in the morning as he must need the sleep but he just seems very off!
