Hi everyone.
First post so bare with me.
My son is 18 month old and has never slept solidly or soundly through the night.
We have had issues regarding an allergy to cows milk and he is now on a soya milk diet and I believe these issues have contributed to our sleeping nightmare.
before the allergy was diagnosed my son had always had restless and often uncomfortable nights. Often spent in bed beside me so that I could rub his tummy or hold his legs towards his chest to ease the gas and pain.
These issues are more or less resolved now however I feel that the long year of night wakening in discomfort and ending up in our bed has left us with a very poorly sleep trained little boy.
Now he currently take a 1.5-2 hour nap about 11/12 and he goes down with no problems.
Then bedtime is the same as has been since 6 weeks old, bath, pjs, bottle, bed. He settles himself and falls asleep with no one in the room and door closed.
He usually stirs religiously around 11pm and is often settle able with his dummy and then again at around 2am which is the harder to settle. He then ends up in bed beside us and settles vary quickly.
We are really almost at breaking point now and I have no idea which way to turn to try and solve the issue.
Please if anyone has any advice it would be warmly welcomed.
Thank you.
