DS, 11 months, has always been an erratic waker/sleeper. Taken recently to waking at 5-5.30 each morning. I let him cry it out until 6.00.
Doesn't seem to want to eat or really be awake (he seems grumpy) but will drink 7oz bottle. Otherwise has 2 naps in day totals about 2 hours-ish sleep.
He goes to bed about 7.00, I would put him to bed later but he spends from 5.30 onwards rubbing eyes and whinging.
Its making my DH and I have the worst rows. DH feels it is affecting him at work (he's a surgeon) and also affecting my work. (I work 3 days a week) We hardly see each other as I am in bed by 9.00 to cope with the early waking.
My DH wants it 'fixed' and will give Medised if DS wakes in night before 2am.( which pisses me off though as I don't think its a good thing to do.) In fairness DS always seems to have a cold/stomach bug etc and is ALWAYS snotty. The other day we had a screaming match about it and I sent DH to his parents house for 4 nights to get some sleep. DS was still rubbish at sleeping but at least I could deal with him without stressing about DH griping as well.
Feel like I am being torn between the two of them. Any tips with what to do?
