Hello,
Can anyone help please. My LO decided around a week ago that he will not let us sleep at night
He has always been a good night sleeper. Any issues we had where always easily solve by adjusting his A time at day. This hasn't been a case this time and I run out of ideas what to do.
I should probably start with going back two weeks. He was really ill about two weeks back with ah horrendous stomach bug and the temp of 40 degrees. It took a full week to recover and my poor little boy has been of the food for 4 days. Since he is better he has been eating like mad.
For the last week he has been waking up ever night at 3ish am. Crying his little eyes out. The only way to calm him down is to put the lights on. Pat/shhhh and any other method we've tried makes him cry even more. As you can imagine it's very difficult to get him back to sleep afterwords.
I thought that maybe it is a hunger so I've give him a milk feed two nights in the row but he will finish his milk and starts his hysteria again.
When he was so poorly he would sleep with us, or rather he would sleep on my place and I would sit next to him changing his cold compresses. So I thought that maybe he want's to sleep with us (which is fine) but no. He would still cry and doesn't want to resettle.
He was also been given a medicine every night at 3am so I'm worried that he developed a habit now (?)
He's daily routine is good and he had a two naps (first 1,5 and second either 1,5 or 45 min and EB).
He was doing a 3.30 - 3.45 A time but since the NW started he can only mange around 3.15 - 3.30.
I really have got now idea what to do and I haven't had a decent night sleep for two weeks
Can anyone help please?
