major sleep issues need help fast!
« on: October 25, 2009, 08:55:32 am »
Hi everyone,
not been on boards for a while as had alot of problems with my lo over last few weeks with a stay in hospital, hes now back to full health and doing ok in general the problem i have is sleep after the night feed. My lo is now 12 weeks and weighs 13lb he goes to bed at approx 7.30 swaddled and will sleep soundly until approx 1.30am ish he then has a 5-6oz feed and goes back to sleep quite easily for approx an hr and that's then when all the fun starts, he will consistently wake every 40 mins or so until we finally get up at around 7am. I have to go into him to give him back the dummy and he seems very restless and sometimes quite agitated i used to dreamfeed at about 10.30pm but never seemed to have any success with this as he still consistently woke at the same time and took a full feed i have tried cluster feeding without success hes not a big eater despite his size and suffers with reflux which he is medicated for. I'm now at my wits end i also have a 3yr old daughter who by this time was sleeping approx 11 hrs through night i know that all babies are different and i was never going to get 2 the same but at the moment i cant see an end to this and feel like my son will never sleep through the night or at least go back to sleep after the night feed.  Any advice would be very much appreciated I'm prepared to try anything at the moment as feel like loosing my sanity, thanks.

Do you think he's waking because the dummy is falling out of his mouth? Is it time to wean the dummy?
