She was doing so well when we were away and now we're back she's back to waking up all the time. Maybe it's my bed? Or the temp is higher in my house? Somethings up and I don't know what!

I'll have to join this thread, Tojus sleeping habits are just getting worse everyday....he wakes up to eat twice in the night and whenever he gets into light sleep, he just cant settle himself back to sleep, so he'll wake up just for a cuddle about 3-4 extra times.
I have to rock him every single time beforwe he can settle himself, and to make mattes worse he has about 4 power naps in the day and i have to rock him for that as well

he wont sleep in his swing or bouncer. I'm shattered, i find that i plan to go out and do fun things with him during the day but end up staying at home all day, eating, surfing the internet, and lazing about because i'm exhausted from the night before.

something really has to change cause i really cant continue like this, i've been considering CIO when he turns 6 months but now i dont even think i can wait that long

alomst the same as me jack was awake at 1.30 3.30 4.30 came into my bed and then woke at 6.30 and 7.3o

 

[bisbis]

I put Toju to bed for a nap at 10am and rushed of to bed myself, just as i started dozing off, he woke up at 10.20, had a cuddle and went back to sleep, now i'm wide awake.

anyways on the bright side, i just got delivery of this book 'solve your childs sleep problems' by Dr Richard Ferber. hopefully it'll help me understand why we're having this problem and how to deal with it.
