| Seems like I'm not the only one. My son who is now 6 mths old is waking up at least 2 or sometimes 3 or 4 times during the night after he goes to bed around 7 ish. I've also just started solids so shouldn't he be sleeping better?????
(My husband says that it's because our son is soooo in love with his mother that he misses me and needs to see me all the time !!!!!)
I'm still breastfeeding and I give him pureed vege and fruit puree mixed with rice cereal for lunch / dn. Followed by bf just before he goes to bed at 7 ish. 10.30 pm I give him a bottle of 6 oz of formula milk (dream feed). Between then and 7 am sometimes he wakes up 2-3 times and each time he gets up, I give him the breast and he goes back to sleep. Can't figure out if he is really hungry or just sucking for comfort?
ps: I tried the controlled crying method and he's now able to go to sleep in the evening on his own (sometimes he still cries and sometimes not). But when he wakes up during the night, he does not go back to sleep on his own.
Any ideas on why ?
thanks ...  |
