Ok, I am at a total loss for my next steps to get DS sleeping through the night. All suggestions welcomed.
Day looks like this mon-fri when at his childminders (which he did only start a month ago, but problems were actually worse before then!)
WU-anytime from 5-6.30am
Nap-11.30 for about 45mins to 1hr (at wkds can pull out a 2 hr nap in his cot, makes no difference to nights)
Bedtime - 6.30-7pm
He goes down for the night like a dream, rarely wakes and is off to sleep in mins
First wake up is around 10pm where he cries out, is sat up and if left will get really upset. All we have to do is give him a head stroke, lie him back down and give him his dummy bunny and off he goes.
Next wake up is between 12-2am and sometimes this can be a long one with lots of wiwo and recently I have resorted to giving him milk if I'm wiwo-ing for 20mins plus. He will drink about 5-6oz so is hungry (have stopped giving bottle in the morning recently and beaker instead so he refuses to drink it, could this be impacting this?)
Then we get an EW sometimes can be resettled, but most of the time not.
What am I doing wrong in the daytime? He eats really well in the day, at the moment has holes in his feet it seems. He has recently started childminder's but to be honest his sleep has been wonky since the beginning of this year. He has slept through about 5 times since Jan! No teeth issues to report, and nothing major developmentally.
Do I just keep doing wiwo and minimal intervention at night and hope it sorts itself out? Want to stop giving him milk in the night as that feels like a massive regression.
