How old is your child: 16 weeks

S-2000.
What’s nap routine? Nappy change, grobag, book, into darkened room, in cot awake, modified shush pat if required ( no patting just hand on chest).
How long are naps? 40 minutes then he wakes and I can sometimes shush/pat back to sleep = 40-90 mins
What's bedtime routine? Time? Feed, bath, cream for eczema, feed, In bed awake 2000
Do you bottle or breastfed?? Breast feed
How much? or how long? Both sides every feed- 15-20 mins each side. Small baby so ongoing concern re weight.
How many wakes per night?
Until 14 weeks was waking at 0400-0500 feeding, sleeping to 0700. Then got a cold and stopped gaining weight- advised to feed 2hrly in day- so I did- gained weight but sleeping gone to pot!!
Awake 0000-0100- sometimes settles self, tonight required 40 minute feed as failed to settle with shushing ( escalating screaming).
Last few nights up 0230- shushed to 0300- feed- asleep to 0630/0645, shushed to 0655- nappy change and feed.
I have devoted the last 10 days to sorting out his sleep snd naps- he properly back on 3 hr EASY now - has been for a week! Have succeeded in getting him to self sooth most if time- considering 2 weeks ago he would scream if we went near the cot awake, and fed to sleep st night consider this major progress.
Am worried i am feeding habitual waking- but in view of weight i cant not feed if fails to settle with usual methods. He wakes when i try to df- so gave up abd did modified clyster/ split feed around bath- tanking him for the night which always worked well.
?
Do they have a prop? Was me/breast- not for last 10days- and has never had a paci- always spat it out!
Do they have a lovie? no
What am I doing wrong???
