Just wondered if any of you have been through this and what you did to get through the other side.
We managed to get DS to learn to sleep through about 6.5 months. I would feed, DH would bath then put him in his cot sleepy but awake. Eventually worked and he would either sleep through, or wake once and DH would resettle easily.
The last couple of weeks DS has been waking more and more in the night and the only thing that will console him is me breastfeeding him to sleep and then putting him back after he's back into a deep sleep. This has also coincided with me returning to work part-time. So I don't know how much of it is to do with me rushing to him on days I've worked to guilt-feed him, or if its just he's now more aware of being alone in his room.
We tried shush-patting as this had worked before, but doesn't seem to make any difference. He still goes into his cot awake.
This is phase isn't it? And he will get over it? And should I be doing anything in the meantime so that this phase doesn't 'stick'? Can't be playing musical beds all night for the next 2 years.
