help!
my 20 week old has never been the best of sleepers, always having catnapped during the day, but by about 12 weeks was easy to settle at night and would sleep for a good 5-6 hour stretch initially, waking to feed only twice on average and then settling with no fuss back into his cot. He also learnt to settle himself to sleep for daytime naps around this time. At 17 weeks everything fell apart! He seemed to forget how to go to sleep on his own during the day, and now at nighttime going to sleep is preceded by prolonged screaming. He is also unsettled now after each nighttime feed, and is waking up to 5 times per night. Other than when we are trying to settle him or resettle him to sleep, he's pretty happy... Any ideas anyone??? going bananas!
