My 7 month old has never been a good sleeper, but I appreciate things could be a lot worse.
He goes to sleep 7/7.30pm. We dreamfeed at 10pm (he’s always been a hungry baby - we tried dropping the dreamfeed but woke at 11pm and couldn’t settle). In the last 3 weeks, I’ve weaned him off his nightfeed (previously 3am-ish).
However, I’m wanting advice or experience from anyone who has had this sleep pattern: Since weaning off nightfeed, every night he needs comfort 2am or 3am. It’s a quick comfort and MOST of the time he settles back to sleep until his feed. This feed is anytime between 5am to 5.45am. HOWEVER after this feed, he is so hard to resettle and we resort to bringing him in our bed but we don’t get much sleep as he is an active sleeper.
Essentially, I’m wanting advice/experience on how to stop the night (non-feed) comfort wakings AND how to get him to sleep in his cot/own room after his 5am-ish feed.
I know some babies are ready to start their day at 5am but he is still really sleepy - he just won’t settle unless he’s in our bed
