Hi
I would be so delighted if someone could give me some suggestions. My 16w ds goes to bed at 7.30 after a bottle. He usually wakes for a feed around 11 (or if he doesn't I lift him and feed him anyway before I go to sleep) and then sleeps beautifully til bang on 3am. About 5 weeks ago he slept through for 7 nights in a row, but since then, every night at 3ish he wakes. I have tried giving him his soother- some nights this works and he will then go back to sleep but wake every 1/2 hr to an hour. I have tried feeding him- he takes a full bottle but is still unsettled for rest of night (despite vigorous winding and settling!)
I don't mind feeding him during the night (if I have to!) but I don't understand why he's so unsettled, irrespective of whether I feed him or not. He's not a massively hungry baby, he drinks anywhere from 20-30 oz/day, usually more towards 20 than 30. But he naps well during the day and is a very happy and contented and dare I say even placid little lad... I just can't get him to sleep properly after 3!!
Any suggestions? I know it'll pass, it's a phase etc, but it's so hard to believe that when you're living through it!
Off to bed now to get a head start on the little monkey! Thanks for any suggestions
