Hi
I wasn't sure whether to post here or nw's......
I think DS is a fairly independant (prop-free) sleeper but has only sttn a couple of times ever, on a good night he wakes twice and is quickly back to sleep after a 2-3 min feed. he's drowsy but not asleep and he usually goes back into his cot no problem. A bad night will be him waking 4-5 times. Trying to settle him without nursing is hard as it ends up with everyone awake and tired. It does feel like he wants the milk more than the suckling, if that make sense
Sleep Routine is a bit hit and miss but approx this:
7:30 am wake
11am sleep (is tired well before but won't settle)
12:30 wake
4pm sleep
5pm wake
8pm sleep
He's nursing whenever he wants it during the day, usually just one side, and doing quite well with blw solids, roughly 2 meals and titbits.
He still has a dummy, im not sure if this is a prop.....sometimes when I go into him during the night it's in his mouth while he's crying. I can't imagine weaning it! I also still swaddle him, unusual I know but it settles him. He's usually out of the swaddle straight after waking.
I would be happy to wake once or twice to feed him but surely he can't need more than that at this age?!
I have tried meds just in case I think he's teething but makes no difference
Any inspiration would be appreciated
