Hello! I've been lurking for awhile soaking up the info and seeing what I can learn from advice given to moms with similar issue but I figured it's time to just post and get my own advice. My DS will be 8 months in a week. We've been doing BW/ EASY for about the 3 weeks/ month. I keep reminding myself that we HAVE seen improvement, even if I'm frustrated at the moment.

At any rate, here's our routine:
6:45/ 7am up
7:15 - 8:15 or longer E - Bottle (Formula)
9:30 S
11:30 up
12:00 E - Bottle
2:30 S
4:00 E - Bottle
6:00 start bedtime routine including bottle
6:45-7:15 down
This is very inconsistent in a number of ways - he is taking FOREVER to finish his bottles these days. We offer 8 oz but he takes almost an hour of starting and stopping to finish. Also, we've been working on extending the naps, but the last couple days we've gotten one 30 minutes and the other just under 2 hours, not consistent which is which. If the AM nap is shorter, he goes down for the PM nap more like 1:45. Yesterday he took a 2 hour AM nap and never went back down - he would give signs and I'd put him down and he'd resist (we did this for 3 hours off and on).
ANYWAY, the real point of this post is that we've also been having some NW in the last week or so. He wakes pretty consistently around 9:30pm. I've tried wake to sleep an hour before that and it hasn't worked, so maybe I should adjust the time frame? Usually he's easy to get right back down with a quiet "Shh" and a hand on his side. Then, he wakes AGAIN at 10:30/11 and is hungry. He wasn't eating at this time before, so this is a new thing. Then he usually wakes at 2:30ish as well.
It is usually really hard to get him back to sleep for one of those (not always the same one), with full on crying and LOUD screaming. We do pu/pd, but I'm talking full on back-arching, shoving hands away, etc.
Whew! Sorry this is so long! Additionally, I think he's got more teeth coming in on the bottom sides AND he's working on pushing to a sit and pulling up to stand... Am I just in trouble?
