My DS (nearly 8mth) has always strugggled with sleep he just doesn't seem to need that much. In day he has 2/3 short 20min naps as and when, Eve we always wind down at half6ish then i BF and he's always fallen asleep so i then put down.
He used to sleep 7-2ish feed then down til 6ish.
Then went to waking twice.
We then moved into own room-was waking less.
When had cold or teething (has 2 teeth) woke much more.
I stopped feeding in nite about a month ago and he seems fine with that.
He's moved from Amby to cot but that was at 6 mth-seemed fine.
But now he's waking 2hrs after we put him down then nearly every 2/3 hrs in night, he wont settle with sshhh, patting, mobile etc and wants to be picked up-Not rocked as the min i pick him up he goes to sleep, but if and when i try put him down he wakes.
Ive left him to cry but he just gets himself into a mess and spends next couple of hours sobbing.
Ive done pick up put down for and hour and half.
Most nights he ends up in our bed.
He cant really self settle but im not sure how to teach him?
I feel so sorry for him, its him i want it to get better for, for some reason i seem to beable to cope with little sleep!
What do you suggest i feel ive tried most things......
