I have a 5 month baby and he's co slept from he came home from hospital he's breastfeed and had refused to take a dummy or a bottle which I would love him to do.
He's naps are mostly contact during the day unless in the car but never on his own maybe the odd time I would get 20 mins max him laying down on his own but in my arms I could get 3 hours sleeping feeding on an off. The naps ok dont really work but my main thing is bed time !!
So he begins the night very fussy hard to get down mostly fed to sleep on an off each boob him crying on an off me singing and rocking him and eventually he's down in my arms. I then move him to lay next to me and I could either get a good hour or 5 mins and he's up again and in my arms , some times he just wants picked up and held and other items he needs rocked or put into different Holding positions like on my front but doesn't really want milk any of these times. This happens during the night alot and is happiest when laying on my and obviously I'm not happy that way ! The last few nights have been terrible waken up crying but still asleep and just needing rocked and sang too. I just remember last baby as the month's went by it got easier and it really doesn't feel like it is if anything getting worse as he's now used to me.
Has anyone experienced anything like this or anyone have any tips or advice. I can advise on feeding and other mum things but sleeping I haven't a clue about an unless you have plenty of money looks like it's on me to fix which also is very frustrating. HELP !
