I have 2 no id boys aged 10 weeks. One sleeps like and angel from 11 til 3/4 when he wakes up for a feed. the other, lovely though he is, is a bit of a pain at night. He has a dream feed at 11, and then wakes up at 2.10 without fail. he then screams non stop. He is not hungry (i always check, and I know he is capable of going til at least 3 without needing a feed), and usually calms down if I pick him up. However, I do not want to get him into the habit of having to be picked up and cuddled for 45 mins every night until he is hungry. If I only had the one baby, I'd leave him in his cot and check on him every 5 mins or so to soothe him back to sleep. I feel mean doing this with the othe DT in the room though, as DT2 makes so much noise, it starts to wake DT1 up, resulting in my picking DT2 up and cuddling him to keep him quiet. It is not a growth spurt as he does this every night and has for ages, and I always check nappy, body temp and so on. Any advice would be appreciated!
