My little boy turned 3 mos yesterday, and for the past two weeks our sleep pattern or 4 hrs, 3 hrs, 2,2 has been turned upside down. Lately he has been sleeping 3 hr at the start of the night and then waking every hour or less after that. I rock him back to sleep unless it has been 2+ hours since he has been fed, in which case I breast feed him.
He is exclusively breasted. He has always had trouble with gas, so I am no longer eating dairy, we are giving him infacol at night. I am block feeding to reduce my milk flow.
His general pattern during the day is to wake up at 8:30ish, have 4-5 30 min naps throughout the day in his crib or bouncy chair and one 1.5-2 hour nap in the afternoon in his swing. I feed him approximately every 2 hours.. He is vey big for his age. His last nap of the day is mid evening and then we bathe him and try to get him down for the night 1.5 hours later. That usually ends up being between 9:30 and 10pm.
He sleeps in a crib in his own room. He usually falls to sleep with a soother but doesn't use one for the rest if the night. We have tried white noise and tummy sleeping... Neither of them seem to extend his night sleeps.
He doesn't wake up crying.. More crying out and grunting, bringing his knees up. If I don't go to him he gets louder and more awake.
I am running out of ideas.. Does anyone have any suggestions?
