Good luck hun, please do come back to us any time even if you just want a hand to hold and some support.  Bear in mind not all sleep therapists use methods that would be compatible with BW so do your research carefully and don't ignore your instincts if you are not happy with any of the suggestions they make xxx

We have been in similar situation since DD was 10 months old, for months I couldn't work out what was causing her lengthy NWs ( they weren't every night but up to 50% of the time) and we too gave her meds thinking it was teething related.And went to the Dr only to be told it was 'sleep hygiene' issue.
But I just couldn't understand- and still can't- why she couldn't go back to sleep for 2-4 hrs.
In the end I figured it out- its always down to OT. We still get long NWs but not as frequently.
So may be its the same in your case? We came close to turning to a sleep training specialist too. Things you do to try make them sleep better :( but yes, OT is what's been causing night chaos here,I know too well about having to go to work on no sleep and surviving rather than enjoying the day :(

Hi,

Just thought I'd check in again. Ive tried contacting the sleep therapist but im not getting any response.

Maria14 how long did this last for with your LO and what did you do to encourage better sleep? What did you do to help you cope with this?

If this is all down to developmental issues then can anyone give me any idea of how long this may last?  Last week we had 6 nights of getting through to 6am but we appear to be back to waking every night again now for at least 2 hrs. Apart from those 6 nights its been every night over 10 long, long weeks now and I'm not sure I can cope anymore.

All his other little friends sleep well til 7am. No one else I speak to has experience of this sort of sleep issues. I feel so alone in this problem, all anyone ever says is its teething and its a phase but its so hard to do this over such a long period.

Any advice appreciated.

Oh dear :( ((hugs))

Can you remind us how old he is now and what his current daytime routine is looking like?

Hello Sweetie,

I'm so sorry things are still going wonky :(. I remember you cut the cat nap, can you tell us the current routine as Katherine said, I'm wondering whether you're still capping the nap at 2 hours, or if you're letting him sleep up to 3 hours as Katherine previously suggested?

((HUGS))

He's just turned 15 months.

Nothing seemed to be working with changing the routine so I just kept it the same.

7am wake and bottle
12pm lunch
1-3pm nap
5pm dinner
7pm bottle and bed by 7.15

Mid morning cat naps if he takes them are capped at 15mins
Generally the pm nap is capped at 2hrs but yesterday he slept for an extra half hour
Sometimes after a bad night he will wake at 6am, other times 7.30am.
Oh and the last few days have seen him develop some separation anxiety so I now have to rock him to sleep at nap and bedtimes to avoid hysterical crying.
At nights he is not happy unless he is lying on one of us. We try to put him beside us in the bed but he just climbs up on top of my OH. It's only when he is truly asleep some two hrs later that I can move him back to his cot.

I agree Katherine, it does a bit like he has become dependent on you and your DH to sleep. Do you feel ready to tackle some sleep training to get him into his cot for all sleeps?

Can you have a read of this thread, I think gradual withdrawal might suit you, but let us know what you think and we can work on a plan together :)
