My 11 month old seems to be a nightmare at the moment and I am exhausted.
He has never been a big eater but at the moment he wakes up at around 7am, has a little breakfast, then around 9:30am will have a nap with a 6-7oz bottle. He will then have another bottle for hi afternoon nap but and then his night time bottle before bed, again around 7oz.
In the day he has his small meals and snacks but he doesn't eat a lot.
We have recently put him in his own cot in his own room and it has been horrendous. He will go down between 7pm and 8pm and then he will wake at 9:30ish, 11:30ish, 2ish, 5ish and then up again at 7. By 2am I just put him in the bed as I am so tired.
He will often feed twice in the night with 5oz bottles, only when nothing else settles him.
However, even when he is in the bed he will wake up in the bed with me crying and I give him a little water and he goes back down but it seems he is constantly waking up and it is getting worse.
Can I put him on cows milk at 11 months and would this make a huge difference? When he is in the bed, sometimes he lifts his legs up like he has belly ache but I don't know whether that will be down to him teething.
He really is just so restless at night and I will try any suggestions to help change this.
I have tried letting him cry it out (I can't do it), I have tried putting one of my tops in with him at night so he can smell my scent, I have tried putting him down awake and asleep.
