Ok....hope not too long. Me and DP cant carry on like this anymore, we've had literally 9 or 10 hours sleep all week. Very briefly DS 6mnths has gone from pretty ok sleeper (never needed loads, and late to bed but not bad) to up every 3 hours, then 2 and for the past few nights every hour. We think dummy majorly to blame (saw other recent thread on this. V.similar) and he has plainly learnt that he needs dummy to settle. We dont lift him out cot or make a fuss, just a quiet sshh. When he wakes there isnt any real crying, just fussing and fidgeting but we're in one bed flat and its keeping us awake all night hence relying on the dummy. I'm now just lying there waiting for the next wakeful spell. We made him go to sleep without dum last night, it was awful listening to him scream but I just felt at wits end, however an hour and half later he was wide awake and grumbling again and cos we are in same room the dummy went in. Tonight DP and I are sleeping in the living room. So...few questions...how long do we leave him to cry for before going in? If we want to go cold turkey with the dummies is that consistant throughout the day as well...eg naps, in the pram? Has he just learnt that its ok to wake up and be seen to all night and can he 'un-learn' it? Please help, I feel lost and tired and teary.
