My baby was a pretty 'average' sleeper up until 9 months. He'd have stretches of 3hrs at night waking upset for breast milk each time. We have a great consistent bedtime routine and were even managing to get naps in the cot for around an hour long 2-3 times a day.
He was beginning to learn to get himself to sleep with some gentle shushing and a dummy.
However around 6 weeks ago this all changed. He now screams blue murder if he's not attached to my bo0b at all times. He's refusing his dummy, and actively throwing it if it comes near him. I'm feeding him to sleep for night time and naps as nothing else is working. He is so distressed when my husband tries it I try without bo0b. I'm taking him out in the pram/carrier for naps now and he's (safely) cosleeping with me at night as it's gotten desperate.
He's due to start nursery in coming weeks and I'm back to work so something has to change.
It can't be teething as it's been 6 weeks now.
Really don't want to use a CIA method but getting desperate as both he and I are so tired. He's got little bags under his eyes 😓
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you for reading 🙏
