very glad I found this was about to post similar.
this is actually posted on behalf of my friend, her son is 6 mo, she doesn't want to put her son on any kind of schedule, or read any books like BW but is getting very frustrate with her son. She is taking the approch of doiung only what the HV tells her or advises because she has massive problems when he was small and he had to go backinto hospital. that is fine if that is what she wants to do, but the HV can't seem to help hre with his sleep problems!!!
He sleeps ok at night, from 8.30 - 6.30, but won't sleep during the day. he catnaps a few times a day, but if he gets any longer than an hour he wakes in the night, wide awake.
She's at the end of her tether, she doesn't get any time to herself during the day and if he's teeting or poorly and naps more during the day she finds herself up for hours during the night.
