I really feel for you this sounds horrid. My baby was / is a big baby and kept waking in the night til 10 months but in his case it was definitely hunger cos after a feed he could put himself to sleep from being awake and every 3 hours was his maximum. Some suggestions - I give my baby a dummy and he can find it himself in the night, you might not be in to dummies or he might not like them but it could be one way to solve the problem for now. Also have you tried a bottle, that way you could really work out if it's hunger or comfort. and someone else could do the feeds. My baby worked out how to find his own bottle in the night which was a novel solution to the problem! When my baby was 10 months we did control crying which was a horrible experience but I knew he was old enough to deal with it, and it has worked. Another option that helped us was formula feeding, but again you might not be happy with this.

But obviously do what you think is right, it's so hard being a mummy sometimes!

Last night was horrid, the night before only 3 times!
I felt like a new woman in the morning. Only getting up to feed three times was a miracle.

He is having three meals a day now, very small amounts. Is so interested in food, intently watching his brother eat an icecream and reaching for it!

Wrapping his arms, over the sleeping bag.

So hopefully fingers, toes crossed, the increase in soilds and wrapping arms make him sleep all night!

Thanks for everyones advice, youe guys are great!

You poor thing! My little man has decided to wake during the night again after 2 1/2 months of sleeping 10 - 12 hours. Now he sleeps for a max of 4 hours. He is only waking once a night though, not 7!

Hope things are getting better for you and its just a phase.

Yeah, I was going to say, definitely start him on solids 3x a day - sounds like he is a hungry boy and needs it. You can start them on meat as early as 6mths... so introduce this as soon as you can as it helps.

I am wondering if the 2hrly bfeeding might mean that he's not getting good quality milk and is snacking? Not sure, but you could try going back to 3hrly feeding and see if it makes a difference?

If he is teething, wait till his teething comes through and then you could try the Sleep Sense Programme, although it's more challenging when you have a little toddler.

My son has been sleeping from 11pm-7am from around 4mths. I give him a 11pm (woke him to give it) and initially he slept through till 5am and gradually it extended out. But the Sleep Sense programme helped too.

Have you tried making the room warmer and getting rid of some blankets? My DD1 slept a lot better when I did that.

Does he sleep better when he's close to you? Does he dose off when feeding? He may had a super actuve mummy radar and just need the closeness. So maybe try putting the cot by the bed so he knows your close? Makes night feeds a lot easier too when you dont have to get up, especially at this time of the year! I find co-sleeping works best for my DD2 as she can feed and I get a full nights sleep.
