Oh please help me! LOL
Luke has never been a great sleeper. He sleeps for a maximum of around 2 hours, perhaps 3 on a good night, but during the day he is awake almost ALL day long. He has cat-naps of 30 minutes here and there, usually in the car but he is a real sleep fighter. I wish he would sleep more!
On top of his lack of sleep, he gets SOOOOOO tired, that he gets stressed out and gets really over-tired and then can't get to sleep without a massive fight. We get scratched, punched, slapped, you name it, he does it just so he WON'T go to sleep!
Now..... he has decided the last 2 nights that his cot is not somewhere he wants to be and although he is happy to fall asleep on me whilst feeding, as soon as I move him into his cot, within 2 minutes he is waking up and crying. I thought the first few times it was a bad dream or wind or something but since it's lke 2 minutes before he wakes again, I don't think for a minute that it is!!
I'm googling all kinds of things here to try and establish what's going on with him.
Is this typical of the 12 weeks growth spurt? I'd have thought that a growth spurt would have him sleeping more or is that just a myth and not true to all babies? I wouldn't say he is feeding much more than usual. Maybe a tiny bit but nothing like previous growth spurts.
The only other thing I could come up with as silent reflux. When he is flat on his back in his cot he has started bringing his knees up all the time.
Please help! I can't cope on such little sleep
