sleeping help

I think maybe you might need to get him sleeping through for just one night so he remembers what its like. Have you tried bringing him into your guys bed? We do this with Daniel when he's doing that kind of nonsense. He usually gets one good night sleep with us then goes back to normal

He has 2 shortish sleeps through the day, one morning and one afternoon, never more than 1.5 hours long (usually only 45min to 1 hour).

We do put him in our bed during the night if he wakes, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference

Sarah is he teething? Sam's night go all to hell when she is. She will wake 3-4 times when she wouldn't normally wake at all!

Is he on the verge of crawling or sitting on his own or something? sometimes they go through a wee stage where they want to practice every second they get and if this is it he should go back to normal once he has it sussed.

Also does he really cry when he wakes? You could try leaving him to make sure hes actually awake and hungry cos he might just go back to sleep on his own if you leave him.

Good luck

Sound alot like teething SB. Do you have any Bonjela on hand? Perhaps try smearing a bit on his gums when he wakes the first time and see if that helps him settle!

Sam did the exact same thing with her first two teeth, and finally went back to sleeping through.....now she has another bottom tooth coming through and woke last night at 10, 12 & 3.40am!! Bonjela was applied and she went back to sleep straight away thank goodness!

He could be too warm or maybe a little chilly? Does he kick off his blanket?
When he wakes up, is he hungry, need nappy change, cuddle, seem in pain ie teething or does he just want to play?
Gina has the same day sleep pattern - she sleeps twice and each one is about an hour. But she never goes to bed at night before around 8:30-9:00.
When she's teething, Gina normally wakes up thru the night too, but she is crying loudly and you can see she's in pain - normally some Pamol, Bonjela and loads of cuddles (and about 1/2 hour rocking ) get her back to sleep. She went thru a period a like that a week ago or so but it only lasted a few days and although we could see the top tooth that was bothering, it never really popped up. She's back to sleeping normally now
Hope Jack goes back to sleeping thru the night soon.

well we had a better night last night. M lifted Jack and did a dream feed and he slept till 2, woke had a cuddle with dad then back to bed till 6. Am happy if he wants to continue that and not need the feed as a quick cuddle is easy!

last night M did the dream feed, which resulted in Jack yelling for 3 hours!!! He wasn't crying, he just yelled and yelled. Apparently he had something important to say.

Sound remarkably similar to what our nights are like when Miss M is teething, that's when I pamol her and put her to bed and that usually does the trick. It is hard to tell though when they really are about to cut a tooth or just fooling ya.

HA! We gave him pamol as we wondered about teething!!! M thinks I switched the pamol for liquid speed!
