Hi everyone , this is a long one ! My son is 9 months . Background of severe reflux which was treated with Carobel milk thickener. Due to this ( I think ) he used to sleep like a dream ! We weaned him off the thickener 3 months ago and since then his sleeping hasnt been great . He is very reliant on comfort to sleep ( dummy or rocking ) and he can wake anywhere from twice to 7/8 times 😩😩 he wakes at around 5 every day and I cant get him back to sleep . He will then go back to bed 2 hours later and then 2-3hours after his first awake time .He shows all sleep cues which is why I put him down. However that then leaves a big gap before bed !! I'm conscious he shouldn't be on 3 naps , but sometimes I have no choice but for him to nap again at 4 o'clock ish but his bed time is then lengthened ! Even if he goes to bed later aka 7.30 - 8 o'clock he still wakes at 5 and numerous time inbetween ! I feel like I am stuck in a rut with this 😩😩😩 he is over tired ? Under tired ? I don't know what to do . Just wanted to know if anyone else has had similar experience and any tips as to what I need to do ? Do I just need to accept he is a very early riser ? THANKYOU ! 😄
