Hi, my 11 mo. ds has had so many issues the past few weeks. Now he is waking up three times a night, and doesn't seem to want to sleep without a bottle. When I try going in but not feeding him, he'll just wake back up a little while later. I am going crazy! He started walking at 10 mo., a few days later my husband and I went back to work (teachers), then he had a massive growth spurt, followed by a bout of teething!(Although I can't see the new tooth yet!) He did not sleep through the night til almost 7 mo., so needless to say, I haven't gotten much sleep this past year! To make it worse, my mom (she watches him) started giving his bottle at naptime!! Now he associates the two and won't take his bottle because he thinks you want him to go to sleep...so he gets it at naptime because that's the only time he'll take it! Help!
Here is his schedule, roughly.
5 am. wake up and bottle (if he'll take it.)
6:00 breakfast
8 am nap ( 35-1 hour.)
snack when we wakes up
11:00 lunch
12:00 nap (45-75 min.)
snack when wakes and a couple oz in sippy cup
4:00 dinner cereal to try and hold him.
5:30 bath etc.
6:00 bottle and bed
I know he has an early bedtime and waketime. I tried to change it this summer and never had had any success!
Should I try p.d. during the night or the walk/in walk/out I read a little about. It is so hard to make changes in the middle of the night when you're so overtired. When he got teeth at 9 mo., he seemed revert to sleeping through after about 10 days, but this time it's not happening!
