Hi all, it's been a loooooooong time since I've been on here! I am posting a question for my sister, she might peek in as well, but her English in not such that she wants to type up the original post. So here goes;
DS is 10 months old. A happy little BIG boy.
He has never slept well, there are the odd nights and naps that he did well, but not amazing. But hey, he's the third, so you wing it and wait it out. But now he is 10 months and HEAVY and it's getting out of control.
8am he wakes, BF, then a cracker or something like it.
10am nap ~ sometimes he sleeps, sometimes he doesn't. If he does then he complains twice or so and then falls asleep. If not then he screams. My sister takes him out, he falls asleep in her arms -> back in bed. (This doesn't always work)
12pm wake, BF, fruit or something like it
1.30 or 2 pm Sleep, which he usually doesn't do
4pm BF
5.30pm Dinner
6.30/7 pm pj on, sleeping bag on, BF to sleep and put away sleeping.
Right now he just had an ear infection. Before the earinfection I would BF him till tired, read a book, sing a song, put him to bed. Usually he would go to sleep without complaining, but since the ear infection that doesn't work
Lately he wakes at 9pm. I try to nurse him to sleep, but that usually doesn't work. If it doesn't work, my husband will sit with him downstairs in the dark, he will then fall asleep after 2.5 hours or so... (so fun sitting in the dark together, we decided to not let him interfere anymore with our nights, since we didn't have any time together anymore. Not right, but sitting upstairs with him for hours with one of us was ruining our relationship. When he falls asleep, we put him away to bed sleeping.
Then he wakes around 1 or 2am. BF. Sometimes I can put him in bed again, sometimes I can't, he'll scream, my husband sits with him till he sleeps. Usually 30 minutes. He won't sleep in his bed then, we take him downstairs and he sleeps in his pram. (which is like a bed)
Then I BF at 6, back to sleep, usually no problem. Because he's already downstairs in his pram, he will sleep.
It looks like he hates his bed. His pram works most of the time, but he is outgrowing it.
Advise???
