Hello
Its me again, I feel like a veteran on this topic
Anyway, DS is nearly 9 mo and we not getting much sleep. He wakes any time between 2-5:30 am. When he wakes we try patting first and he would sleep for only abt 1/2 hour or so and then wakes again As it gets closer to morning, its gets harder. We give him a dummy and that too would send him back to sleep for 1/2 hour or so. This happens until about 5/5:30 where he is arching his back, crying in frustration coz he clearly can't but wants to sleep. No amount of patting/dummy would help until we start his day at 6.
Routine wise.
6 wake B/fast
8 bottle
9-11 nap (sometime 10:30)
11:20 lunch
1:00 bottle
2-4 nap (sometimes 3:30)
3:30-4 bottle
5:00/5:30 dinner
6:10 bath, bottle and usually asleep by 6:45-7.
naps with dummy, goes to sleep independantly PD down awake after bottle, most of the time, else drowsy.
Developmental wise, he just started to crawl on all four. I can blame it on that, but then we have never had a good night sleep from him.
I am wondering if it is hunger. For weight, he used to be in the 95 percentile, but has gone down to 70 now, height wise he is tall boy. He is now classed as under weight for his height.
We dropped his DF at 8 month and then battled teething and gastro (throwing up everyday for 10 days, during this time I offer a bottle whenever I can (I gave him a bottle on 2 or 3 of those nights) to get some nutrients in him). I am wondering now that he has recovered, perhaps his appetite is back and need more food. So back with DF?
I cant get him to take any more milk or solid at each meal as he gets fussy and is clearly not interested, plus I am scared he is going to throw up again so i dont push it.
I just dont know what to do with the morning wakings anymore. We have a trip planned, I am dreading it rather than looking forward to it
Any advice, comment is appreciated
