Hi, wondering if anyone has any magic tips.
my 10 week old, for the last 5-6 weeks, has had colic and has struggled at bedtime. He screams for hours when he does eventually fall asleep he wakes hourly in the night. Sometimes every half an hour. It’s really taking a toll on my mental health as my 2 year old DS1 was the same and never grew out of it. He’s only just started sleeping better and even then needs help at bedtime and still wakes during the night. So I’m worried this isn’t a phase and we’ve got another challenging sleeper on our hands. DS2
was great when he was 1-3 weeks old only waking for feeds. I think now he would sleep for hours on us but wakes so quickly once in his cot. He’s not easy to get to sleep during the day either, having to go in the sling or his pram.
weve so far tried:
- white Noise
- sleeping bag (he can’t be swarmed any more cos he was turn onto his side. He did like being swaddled.
- Next to me cot attached to bed
- bedtime routine
- bath before bed
thanks for reading, any tips welcome
