I wondered if anyone has experienced this and any advice as we are on our knees, I’ve got mastitis and feel horrific and DH is trying to deal with work and a terminally ill mum. Up until 10 days ago DS would sleep 7.30-7.30 with around 2 wake ups for feeding (BF) and straight back in crib. For last 10 days he has been waking every day at 3am, cooing and gurgling and then will not go back to sleep for more than 45 mins at a time until morning unless we bring him into bed.
last night neither me or DH got any sleep, we are so exhausted and I feel so ill with the mastitis.
Are we perhaps doing something wrong, should I be making his bedtime much later?
He also barely naps for more than 45 mins 3 x a day so there is literally no respite and he’s not getting anywhere near the amount of sleep listed for a 3-4 month old.
any advice or positive stories that things went back to normal would be so welcome!
