Hi everybody,
I am new to the forum and I would like to get some advice regarding my son (1y 4 months) sleeping issues.
He slept 6 hours straight at night and needen only 1 feed during the night, since the beginning. At 2 month old he slept through the night.
but... At 3.5 mo he started teething and caught a lot of colds and his sleep patterns got disrupted.
At first, I thought it was the teeth, then the colds and then he just got used to wake up and cry until we come to him and put him the pacipier into his mouth and he falls immediately asleep.
He was with me at home until he was 6m and then with my mother until sept 1st, when he started being in daycare.
Before starting daycare, we were used that he will wake up twice, 1 am and 5 am approx, get his dummy and went back to sleep.
since he started daycare, he wakes up every 2 hours and we are exhausted. He is teething (the last molars) and he has cold also. I don't know what to do, he cries, until we come, he gets his pacifier, sometimes his pacifier is in his mouth, and after we lay him down, he falls asleep immediately.
Is it a behavior thing? how do you correct it? should we let him cry?
Maybe it is related to daycare and we should wait until he is more confident, like in a month or so?
any ideas will be appreciated.
thanks
Denise
