Hey all,
Jensen goes to bed around 7pm ish, and then will normally wake/stir at anywhere between 9pm-11ish - and we'll give him his bottle, I normally feed him in bed and then cuddle him back to sleep, and he either sleeps in my arms or next to me in our bed. Got into this routine as I was exhausted and it was easier at the time.
Now OH wants to get him sleeping on his own, so last night I slept in a different room. Jensen woke up nearly every hour, despite him not being hungry. OH did feed him tho, when he should've (currently every 3-4 hours - he is quite a hungry boy and we've started him on solids about a month ago). This went on all night - each time Jensen crying from 10-20 mins. Everytime OH tried to comfort him, he wouldnt' stop so he picked him up and cuddled him to re-assure him, Jensen promptly nuzzled up and fell asleep on him. OH then put him back in his cot straight away - but he woke crying again.
OH obv. didn't get any sleep. And neither did I, as I just lay there listening to him getting all upset (thinking in my head, all he wants is a mummy cuddle - and how mean we were being).
Jensens voice is now hoarse today from all that crying (he hardly ever cries normally).
Do you think we are being mean? I know I am maybe cuddling him too much at night - but he is my first and in my mind, I like him sleeping with me. OH obv. doesn't.
Do you think this is too much crying? OH is gonna keep on doing this til Jensen learns to sleep on his own - not sure I can stand it tho!
