My DS has been waking up most nights this past week for about 2 hrs- between 3-5 am. What could be causing this? He is wide awake and wants to play= happy boy! I tried to let him resttle, no luck. Give him his paci, no luck. When I go to leave the room he screams! It usually happens after I have fed him- so I know he's not hungry...
Since Christmas, his naps have been terrible (morning 1-1.5 hours) , PM (45 minutes- won't go back down) and short catnap (although refused last night). His A time is anywhere from 2 - 2.5 hours as I try to read his cues. He began eating solids last month and seems to be OK with eat as I don't give him too much. He is still swaddled and loves his paci although I don't always give it to him- only when he wants it. He did have a cold last week but seems fine now. He's been drooling for a few months but no signs of teeth!
Previous to Christmas he was a dream. Napping 1.5 hours 2 times daily and catnap. He would sleep 12 hours each night with dreamfeed and 1 night feed. I'm going crazy...can't handle the regression and I'm feel like I don't know what to do anymore. We have no family here to help and my husband and I need a break or a good night of sleep!
ANY suggestions would be appreciated as I really need some help. Should I tackle soother and swaddle dependancies while this is all a mess anyhow?
? I can post today's routine tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Laura
