My little boy is 14 months old and has never slept more than 4 hours. He has never even had a fluke night. We have tried everything to stop him waking up screaming every few hours. He goes to sleep in his cot at night without being rocked etc and that hasn't helped him settle himself when he wakes up again.
He will cry and scream until he is given milk, even when he has had a bottle before bed or just a few hours before. Sometimes putting a dummy in is enough and he's goes back down but will often wake again after 15 minutes. We have offered water, refused or just given him a little. He ends up in our bed every night as we can't go into him so many times a night, we need sleep too!
But in all honesty he's no better in our bed.
Is this normal? What can I do without CIO. I feel like there is something wrong? He has 2 naps a day for up to an hour each time. Wake window up to 4 and a half hours.
I need help 😭
