Hi,
New to the forum, and getting desperate!!!!!
My son is 11 weeks old, will be 12 weeks old on Friday, and will not sleep past 3-3:30am.
Our routine is that he has a 2 hour nap around lunchtime, and maybe a morning nap of an hour and 45 mins ish around 4pm. He has 6-7oz formula every 3 hours through the day.
We try to base our day on a 7-7, Up at 7, bathed and and fed and in his cot for 7pm, he will usually then go to sleep in around 10 mins, we dream feed him at 10:30pm (we only started to do this recently, before he went down at 7pm woke at 1am, fed, then wide awake club from 3am, so we thought he was hungry, so a few nights ago we introduced the 10:30pm feed, then he sleeps till 2-2:30, we feed, and he will go back to sleep for a maximum of one hour, usually around 30-40 mins, and that is it. We keep the night time feeds calm and do not put bright lights on etc.
Last night, he woke at 3:15, and cried and cried, I got up and patted him shh shh etc etc, winded him etc, and he cried on and off until 6am this morning, when I gave in and put him in his bouncer and rocked him to sleep as he and I were exhausted. He will not sleep past this time in his cot, yet he is fine in his cot from 7-2.
It's as if he is saying at 3am right thats it, I want to get up now please, and will just not settle no matter what I do.
Please can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
