I'm at wit's end - I'm unable to function during the day to tend to my older children because DS2 is up alllll night.
Well, not really. He is on a 7-7 routine, and he sleeps well from 7 till about 1 or 2 am (give or take an hour). After that, he's up every hour, hour and half. The worst times are after 4 am, where he can be waking every 30 minutes to 45 minutes!
This has been going on for 6 days, with one "okay" night thrown in there.
Last night he slept great from 6:30-1 am, with a Dream feed at 10:30. I can't go to sleep with him at 6:30, because I have two older ones to be with and put to bed.
Do you think it would be worth it to make DS2's bed time much later, so he sleeps the 6-7 hour stretch during the time we sleep? How do I go about changing to that kind of a schedule? Is it as easy as waking DS around 8 or 9 for an hour or so?
What would our start of day be like then?
What are your recommendations/advice?
