My DS will be 10 months old next week. He slept 6 hour stretches until he was 3 months, then it all changed and has never gone back. He still wakes up to 10 times a night, cries as soon as I leave the room even if I put him down while asleep, won’t settle to sleep himself, he only wants me to get to sleep and nobody else will do.
Theres been 2 evenings where I’ve put him to bed at 7 as normal, then my mum has come round to sit and listen for him while I’ve gone out, and he’s slept until 1am without waking, but when I’m home (downstairs and very quiet!!) he wakes every 45 minutes from the time he goes to bed. It seems I’m the problem, and I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m at my wits end with the lack of sleep. He wakes up screaming and will keep screaming until he makes himself sick if I try to leave him a little while.
