hello ,
just wondering if my 18 month old son is normal?
he is now just recovering from a bad cough and cold(flu)
but since he was about 14 months he has been waking up through the night partly because i jump to every whimper and also haven't stopped giving him a bottle at 5:00a.m
(since he doesn't eat 3 proper meals i always feel he is hungry and guilty if i don't feed) but having said that i am ready to stop as this might be contributing to his wake up's???
anyways, he has a nap between 1 and 3 lasting 1.5 hours to 2
goes down before 7:30 and wakes up sometimes at 11:00 sometimes at 10:30( not the same everyday)
again around 1:00 which is happening 3 days in a row now
and again at 4:30 for milk and
wake up time 6:40 on the dot.
my question is how do i wake to sleep if i am not sure what time he will wake?
will it ever get better?
should i stop his milk at 5:00 although i am pretty sure he is hungry?and if so how do i make him eat more during the day?will it just up itself if i cut out his 5:00am milk?
thank you ..any advice appreciated.
