aaarrgh, just typed a great long rant and was about to hit post when i lost it!!!!!
i'll start again and try and be concise.
ds is now about 19 weeks (so tired i've lost count!).
he has never really napped during the day unless he is out in his buggy - he just doesn't do being put down in his cot and left to drift peacefully off - oh no.
he was breastfed apart from a bedtime bottle of formula (he was v slow to gain weight so advised to do this at about 7 weeks). always v happy with it, no problems.
he had third lot of jabs a couple of weeks ago and they made him utterly miserable. he had the bottle that night (and his first calpol) but the next night he refused his bottle point blank and has done ever since. (have tried different teats, expressed b milk etc etc).
he is also learning to roll and does a lot of frustrated yelling cos he wants so desperately to be crawling (he is a hugely active baby).
he slept 8 hours in a row once, about 3 weeks ago but that was a one-off - he would normally have between three and a half and six in the first part of the night, then more on and off and we would co-sleep from the early morning.
now his sleep seems to get worse every day - he doesn't seem to be able to go longer than an hour and three-quarters without waking up and wanting a feed - i feel like i am up and down all night and usually give in and get him into our bed half way through the night so i can get some sleep. i guess this is a growth spurt but it seems to be going on and on and i'm dreading the nights now cos i am getting so little sleep - and i can't go straignt back to sleep like i used to cos i am lying there worrying about how long he will last until he wakes up again.
pls tell me this is not going to go on for ever!
