I am having alot of trouble with my 10 mnth old and sleeping. He used to sleep through from about 7-6 but that was a couple of months ago now. He got sick and was tetthing at the same time and hasnt slept the same since. At first he was just waking about 5 times a night but he would feed and go back to sleep... i hated this at the time but i would love for him to even do that again.
Now he will wake at about 10:30 and have a feed and go back to sleep and then he will wake again at around 2-3 and then try and stay awake for hours. This has happened everynight for the last week. He will start going back to sleep if i rock him a bit or sometimes even if im just holding him but if i put him in the cot he starts screaming. I have started to let him cry himself to sleep after 2 attempts to fedd and settle. Last night was the first night it worked and that took an hour. The night b4 he screamed for an hour and a half and i just couldnt leave him any longer so it took me another 2 hours to get him to sleep. He has just gone back to sleep now by the sounds ..... and it only took 25mins. That is alot better the last night but i still have having to leave him to cry to sleep. Nothing else works short og getting up for a few hours and i really want to get him out of that habbit.
I just want my little boy to sleep through again and i am at a loss to why he wont. He has a slight cold atm but he was still doing this before he got that so i dont know what it is. Im not getting enough sleep and its drving me crazy. I cant function properly and i fall asleep any time i sit down nearly. Any ideas?
