DS is a "touchy" baby (from the quiz) with about 1/3 of the questions being "textbook".
He wakes up at 7am, I feed him, we play wide-awake chats, a few minutes in the playgym, but by about 9am he overloads so we sssh-pat, and he settles to sleep for about 45 minutes. If I try and settle him earlier he just keeps his eyes open.
10am, a nappy change then he's fed a bottle of EBM by the nanny (in preparation for me going back to work in a few weeks time). A bit of playing (chatting, staring at mobile) and then he's asleep again at around 11-11:30 for 45 minutes, then he wakes up, I shh-pat and then another 45 minutes.
1pm, another nappy change and then a feed. Sometimes he will then fall asleep and stay asleep until 4pm, othertimes he's wide awake.
4pm, another nappy change and a feed. Then he plays. At 5:45pm we go for a walk outside (I live in the tropics so it's the only time the weather is cool enough!) in his pram. At 6:45pm he has a bath with daddy, is changed, feeds at 7pm and then goes to sleep.
I have to wake him for his DF at 10pm with a nappy change otherwise he wont be awake enough to latch, and he is really not very hungry. We tried a bottle for the DF but he wouldnt take any of it, and in fact once had a screaming hissy fit in refusal!
But this is then where we are veering off.... previously he would wake at around 2-3am for a feed, and then again at between 6-7am for a feed. That was great
The last few days though he has woken almost back on 12:40am, and then at 3am, and then at 5am, and then at 7am.
What is going on?! Will this regular night time waking continue?
