My 5.5 month olds sleep is getting worse. He's gone from 3 wake ups and selfsettling to waking up every 45-60 mins throughout the night and having to be held to sleep. Currently have to hold him to sleep for 20mins before I can put him in his cot otherwise he wakes in less than a minute so getting less than half an hour sleep at a time and I'm exhausted. Any ideas why or how to improve things?
I used to be able to give him a feed, change his nappy then put him down awake and he'd drift off to sleep. Now he screams when I put him in the cot awake. I tried giving him calpol tonight in case something was hurting but that's not made any difference.
