I am new to this board, so i hopes will describe my child properly in the question.
I have a boy who just turn 6 months. He has been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months old (7-7 with a dream feed)
He is formula fed (BFing was extremely painful for me due to non stop engorgement)
He takes 2-3 naps a day. 45min -2.5 hours long
Daily routine
E 7
S8:30-9
E 10:30 -11
S varies a bit depending on how long the first nap was as he can only stay awake for 2 hours or so.
E2:30-3
S not every day
E 6:30-7
S7-8
E 10
Activity: using his walker, learning to crawl and sit, bath.
He usually is on the 4/4 routine but occasionally he gets hungry earlier than 4 hours. I feed him 6-7 oz per feed, but he has always have digestive issues and if he eats too much he will throw up
Also, if i feed him with slow flow nipple, he might not eat his usual 6-7 so we switched to medium flow, but that causes more throwing up
At around 4 months old he went through a sleep regression that lasted about 10 days and stopped just as suddenly as it started.
Now about 4 weeks ago (at a little over 5 months), he started waking up 1-2 times per night. He doesn't cry, but tries to exercise his "push ups" as he is learning to crawl.
Although he is not exactly crying, when i pat his back, and give him pacifier, he is trying to go back to sleep but SOMETHING makes him jerk up and try the push ups again.
I have to mention that patting his back while he lays in his crib works great for nap sleep during the day.
For the last 2 nights he also cried his "I'm hungry" cry so i fed him and he ate 6 oz both times. And his regular breakfast at 7.
We tried "wake up to sleep" and that helped a bit, but his wake up times are not very consistent.
Last night he woke up at 2:30 am and the night before at 4:30 am.
He doesn't have a love, and really shows no special interest in a particular toy. He seems to like them all
We started solids but no cereal. I stopped for a while to see if that would affect his sleep but it didn't.
Also, i think the current sleep regression started with teething, and then continued with learning to sit/crawl. He can sit tripod style now, but he hasn't started to crawl yet.
I have read that the sleep regression can last 2-6 weeks. We are going to hit 5 weeks on Sunday, and i am really worried that it will never stop
Thank you,
