Hi all, looking for any advice anyone has to offer.
My LO is nearly 6 months and for at least the last 4 weeks (it's a blur it could be longer) he's been waking at around 4am chatting away blowing raspberries and shouting bbbbbbbbbb ddddddddd mmmmmmmmmmm. I've tired leaving him and he screams, I've tried rocking him and he doesn't sleep, I've tried feeding him which wakes him even more..... I'm at my wits end with it. Oh works so its unfair of me to ask him to get up with him at 4am although when he's off he gets up with him the odd day so I can have a bit of a lay in.
I don't think he is hungry as he doesn't want milk until about 7am, and he has a dummy so I pop that in but it doesn't really do much. I've been putting baby tv on the iPad for him and hanging it over the cot. His last feed is 11pm df but since he has been fully weaned 3 meals a day he only takes 3ozs of his df so I think he is about to drop it. Should I try hipp goodnight milk?
He is in a space saver cot so I don't know if I need to put him in a bigger one maybe he is bashing the sides and waking up. We have a blackout blind but he is in our room (1 bed flat but we are moving to 3 bed house in a couple months) I've put a bumper around the cot so he can't see me. I really don't know what else I can try but I know I can't be getting up at 4am for the rest of my life. Help!!!!
