Has been kind of working ok so far. I feed him in the dark at 6pm-ish and he falls asleep, then wakes up a few times, feeds or sshes back to sleep (or if ill, needs a quick rock/sway) and wakes for the day at 5.15ish (eek)
BUT
recently he won't fall asleep on the boob (which in the back of my head I vaguely think means he isn't actually well - teething/cold whatever) and writhes around on me. So I rock him a bit, but he keeps grabbing my boobs. But then doesn't really want. Is obviously lighter too so he is looking around. Tried to lie him down and get him to settle but he just flips over/stands up/crawls off/grabs me. Have tried leaving him in cot but he then either plays happily for a while or gets miserable. Not sure how he would work out to lie down and go to sleep . Cannot for the life of me remember what I did with dd... but dh has just come downstairs after rocking him to sleep...
Can anyone help? Am a hippy, co-sleeping mum, he is fine once he has gone off to sleep but it's just winding him down? Put him in the sling? Am sure there is something v obvious I am missing...
Thanks!
