My Lo is a little over 10 months and the last few nights he has been having the worst sleeps. I just don’t understand it, I’m at my wits end. Routine hasn’t changed, nothing has really, but a little bit about our bedtime routine. Dinner, bath, maybe a bottle (if he is putting up a bit of a fight) then he’ll cuddle up in the crook of my arm and go to sleep) Then I’ll get up and do a few jobs around the house before moving him to his own room and going to sleep myself. His sleep through the night was hit and miss, but if he woke and I couldn’t soothe him in his own room I’ll just bring him to bed with me and he’ll go straight back to sleep.

But the last few nights he has been an absolute terror, routine the same dinner, bath, maybe bottle, then the whole ordeal starts. Even with the bottle I can see his eyes drooping I’ll swap the bottle out for a binky and he’ll start to doze (victory I think to myself) then all of a sudden he will just scrunch his eyes, arch his back, try to push me away and scream. Then I’ll shoosh him, a few rocks then he will start to doze again, only to do the same thing. Over and over this goes all night. Sometimes I’ll get an hour or 2 of him actually asleep (so I’ll doze off).

Ive tried giving him bonjela and Panadol both before starting the bedtime routine and half way through, just in case it’s his teeth and that does nothing. I just don’t know what to do, any advice would be awesome right now.
