Hello!
I have a 4 month old baby who has been sleeping really well, bed at 7:30 ish then waking at 1 and 4 for feeds, up at 6 ish then a vague 3.5 hour EASY fitting around my other 2. All naps in sling or pushchair. I put him down in his cot awake at bedtime and he went to sleep on his own, fed to sleep for NW.
The last few nights have been awful - up every 2 hours and either waking up as soon as I unlatch him, or just staying awake.....between 4:30 and 7:30 yesterday
.
Despite my best efforts he won't take a dummy or a bottle. I tried PUPD for a nap but it is too much for me - I got v v anxious about sleep and naps last time and the screaming gave me actual flashbacks so I abandoned it for now. The other complicating factor is that he is falling off his weight centile - he was tongue tied and never feeds for very long. So I want him to feed at night....just sleep in between.
Do I need to sleep train? I'm not sure I could cope with it TBH, are there any other things I could try first?
Aaarrrggghhh!!
